WORDS MATTER
The ability to choose captivating and effective words can transform your future.
There is a trick to English words that most people have not learned that blocks impactful writing and slows reading comprehension.
Most English words have Latin or Greek origins.
These "obscure" languages were taught... so that people would have the word power to understand and express key ideas.
Language has been dumbed down to the point where mainstream television uses only vocabulary a 5-year-old can understand.
Culture built around the lowest common denominator rather than stretching people to achieve and learn is in trouble.
