When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger. Ephesians 4:29
Before you speak, ask: Will what I’m about to say help others become stronger?
You have the ability, with your words, to make a person stronger. Your words are to their soul what a vitamin is to their body. If you had food and saw someone starving, would you not share it? If you had water and saw someone dying of thirst, would you not give it? Of course you would. Then won’t you do the same for their hearts? Your words are food and water!
Do not withhold encouragement from the discouraged.
Do not keep affirmation from the beaten down!
Speak words that make people stronger. Believe in them as God has believed in you.
Jim Rohn, isdatchu?

TPS: Nope! Just plain old me!
Kaw talaga, had to google Jim Rohn pa.
I also believe in this…”If you have nothing good to say, then it is better to say nothing at all.” A lot of people do not believe in the power of words. But the things we say are very powerful…they can sustain a dream, encourage an action, uplift a soul, or save a life. But then, they can also ruin a relationship, bring down a person, hinder success, or discourage a soul. So let us make sure that the words coming out of our mouths are true and full of goodness. Not only does it do good to others, it is also good for our souls. 
“A wise man’s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones” (Proverbs 16:23-24, NIV).
Posted by kumareng grace at May 1, 2008, 2:44 pmYup. Think before we speak. Pero minsan, sa sobrang excitement, we say things na hindii naman dapat, or hindi pa dapat, sabihin (like the incident with Ka when we were havin lunch)
Hirap din gawin nito, kailangan ng practice.
hey guys! know what, Ka just told me she was so embarrassed during that sensational lunchbreak. let’s all learn from her
Wow, that’s a powerful question. Thanks for that reminder! Sometimes we feel that honesty is the best policy and gasgas na gasgas na yan. That gives a new perspective to that old saying.

Just imagine if all people would live by these words. The world would truly be a wonderful place to live in. It’s not really that difficult. Words are not expensive. Burdens are lightened when friends help one another through difficult times.
