USING THE WORD BECAUSE CAN INCREASE YOUR REQUEST SUCCESS RATE
CREATE A MIRACLE WITH YOUR LANGUAGE
The miracle of the short word
There is no law that says you have to use complicated, long and big words.
Short words can be as good as or even more effective than big words. Short words can have a greater impact. Short words are the words we have known from the time we have been born (started learning English) and thus are closer to our hearts. Words that touch the heart have a great impact.
WHY WE NEED TO LEARN BIGGER WORDS
The only reason you need to learn bigger words is because sometimes other people use them, so you need to know what they are saying. Also sometimes you might want to vary your language and then you can draw upon them. When you are communicating, small words are just as good and often are even better and more effective. The type of words book authors use are often not the most effective for the business world. In the business world being concise is the favored method of communication and small words are the more concise form of English too. Concise means being brief and to the point.
SUPER SOUND
When we read we are usually sounding out the words in our heads and when we speak we are making sounds in the form of words. Small words have more effect on our brains and the brains of others because they are shorter and are easier to be processed by our minds.
If a longer word is perfect – use it but make small words the main focus of your speech.
People will follow more easily what you have to say. It will sound good to them and that is what effective communication is all about. Many of the most profound proverbs are expressed in simple words. Only use big words in business writing and conversation when they express a meaning that no other word can. Thus two tips to use
Always use a small word, and only use a big word when a small word is not available to express the idea you want to express.
Express first. Write to express first, never to merely impress. Ironically if you write to express, you will leave a clear impression.
- Words are powerful says Dan O'Connor, so make sure you use the most power-packed words
