THE POWER OF VERBAL MOTIVATION

Verbal = means communicated in the form of words.
Motivation = is the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that gives purpose and direction to behavior.
Advanced English Dictionary.


Walking down alone, along the uneven path of life, people get involved in a series of moments in which they have to take actions or execute their skills and abilities in order to reach certain desired goals. However, being surrounded with negative minded people and results from social pressure like fear, uncertainty, inconfidence, procrastination, and lack of self-stem are some of the most detrimental factors to our lives. These factors have subtle powers that drag, many people who are absolutely able, competent and skilled, down into the abyss and never to rise anymore.


There is great power in words, since words attract us to what we say constantly. These organized phonetic sounds we call words which form language, play a prolific role in stimulating us thereby molding the way we behave. Thus, the relation between language and motivation. (Verbal-motivation). Verbal motivation has been used subconsciously, for centuries, in school by teachers, sports by coaches, churches by priests, at works by bosses, hospital by nurses and doctors etc., transforming human behaviors to better living standards through positive constructive words.   


Being surrounded with people who pronounce frequently words like, never, impossible, you can’t , life is hard, you are not going to make it, you are done, there is no way, is like putting your hands in a sack full of serpents. These people are poisonous and their venom is highly contagious not to kill you instantly but slowly to be avoidable. Exterminate these people from your social circle.


Fear is the enemy of human kind to progress. Every normal human being has got fear of something which other people may not, usually depending on where or how we live and grew up. However, we must always teach ourselves by all means to fight against our fears. If you are afraid of public speech, make friends with and be surrounded by people who are courageous enough at it.


We all have moments of uncertainty and inconfidence, usually caused by fear, lack of self-stem and incompetence. In these moments of psychological crisis, we need people who are positive minded. The people who boost our morals by telling us that we are capable of doing anything, the people who believe in possibility and victory.


Procrastination, procrastination, procrastination. The grand thief of time. Besides being the grand thief of time, procrastination is the fiancĂ© engaged to illusion. Many people stop doing important things they ought to, just because they are too distracted onto embarking the boat of delusional momentary happiness, which cruises absolutely nowhere. Victory comes from doing, and that doing takes  long time that also needs patience.


After all, everyone is born a winner and there is always an enough piece to eat, for those who do, in this global pizza pie. Our victory and maturity start flourishing when we start living by certain rules; Stop wasting time listening to negative minded people, unless with the intention to change their mentality. Surround yourself with positive minded people, people who believe in possibility and change. Identity and accept your fears, fight them and learn from the courageous at that task. Do not worst time thinking too much, just do, start. Whatever you are doing, be patient, what is important is the act of doing and direction, knowing where you are going. Always remember that a journey of thousand miles starts with a step and be disciplined, always stick to your rules of practice.

AND THE POOR GET POOR EDUCATION.

As the sun’s irradiation permeates the little Tchakalala’s oily, sudoriferous dark skin, his pallid cracked hard lips were slightly opened, to help his breath from the overcrowded multitude. The weary, brown t- shirt he wore was bigger than his small, malnourished body. No one could ever agree with the fact that the t- shirt had been pure white once, the day his uncle Tongi received it as a governmental special gift, after he had restlessly participated in the previous presidential elections campaign. Tchakalala could feel the insufferable heat from the uneven, rocky ground, perforating tardily through his filthy granitic cracked barefooted heels. He had waited with the crowd since morning and now was noon, clapping hands, singing and cheering up to the eloquence of the governor’s words, he could hardly decipher. This was another first day of presidential campaign in his village. The only words, he gasped and cheered at the most, were the ones the governor ha...
