POWER OF WORD
A must read.
I have a cousin who has the habit of writing on the wall, he has painted all the walls of the house with his jargons. I hated that, but he loves doing it.
.
One very day, I came home and met him doing the same thing - writing on the wall. I shouted on him and call him offensive & traduce names, he was dejected and left for his room.
A day after, I went to school and after the stressful and busy day I retired home. Guess what I saw when I got home, He was writing on the wall again and this time he was looking at me with an eye and writing with the other unflinching.
`
I move closer to him and told him "You are a big and handsome boy, big boys don't write on wall". And he never write on wall again after that day.
.
Lesson: You don't need to trampled on ones self-esteem before you correct them, all you might need is a right word and plausible usage.
.
He is a small boy but he has a self-esteem and he hated one to hurt it.
