The words that's could stop Wars!
Its no more a shock seeing the hyper-volatile cryptomarket doing it's magic, let's neglect the dwindling price of steem for some moments and focus on the real world in which we all live in.
Pride, is one of the arch-enemies of mankind with the seven deadly sins.
In life, there are simple things that curbs the most violent things, simple word that could pacify any rift and debacles. But only a few would stoop low to say those words and others out of ego would let things go out of hands than say sorry or please.
Two of those words are mentioned in my last lines below, a rich man or woman would feel too rich and powerful to thank people around him, anyone even his servants because he pays them.
Sorry is another word that could have save somebody lives, the powerful will not say sorry to the people he or she has hurt, saying please is difficult for some because of stupid pride and ego, they feel they would never want something because they could afford everything.
The poor and the hungry says within himself or herself; saying please for a meal or money makes me a beggar, saying thank you makes people look down them and saying sorry makes him or her feel weak!
These words are courtesy or the simplest and mild gesture that could change the destiny of individuals, these words doesn't make anyone weak, it has never turned anyone to little man or woman any less than they are.
Don't overuse sorry, please and thanks in conversation: The Spanish are an emotional bunch, but they go for heartfelt apologies rather than saying sorry every time they brush against someone on the underground-source
However, many abuse this words constantly and they use it even when they don't mean it; howbeit, the genuine individuals who say those words punt if the pureness of their heart can not be ruled.
Thank You
Contrary to people's believe, saying thank you does not make you little and petty. Strangely, some believe in helping but do not entertain appreciations like thank you, merci, gracias etc. Crazy World huh?
Those little helps you consider too little to appreciate like paying a cashier at a grocery store actually means a lot to the person you saying to and to yourself.
Sorry
A short word but it is the hardest word and the most abused word that comes out of millions of people's mouth around the world. Not been able to say a simple "i am sorry" had ruined many homes as well crashed several relationships.
According to a survey by UK car insurance company Esure, the average Brit will say sorry a staggering 1.9 million times in their lifetimes-source
In as many as there are millions who finds it hard to say sorry; they are the same or even worse than the ones who abuse the word. A murderer that get caught says I am sorry and a petty thief says sorry as well.
Please
Another word that had saved several lives more, from assassination attempt, from Armed Robbery and cold blooded murder.
somewhere in west Africa , a man pleaded with assassins sent to eliminate him by some blood sucking politicians and was left alive just from the simple "Please sir" by the man's 5 years old daughter. Then he was advised to flee the country afterwards by this criminals.
There are several other important words as the one I used in this context, but these three words melts hearts in any condition, though not always but in multiple cases, bur in most cases, Sorry, Please and Thank you could be extremely motivational to anyone with a sense of purpose.
Nice post @oluwoleolaide, and great advice for people. Thank you would be my pick of the three. Showing gratitude could prevent most of life's problems, which would replace the need to say sorry or say please (also known as being humble). A humble man is usually known to be a grateful man, a greatful man does not need to say PLEASE, SORRY or THANK YOU, it is already part of their essence.
