provoking greatness

“The words you use can destroy people's confidence or provoke their greatness.

  Use your words to add value.”

It does not matter

Who a person happens to be

President of the United States

A Senator

Or Congressman

A professor, or teacher

Doctor or counselor

It does not matter if a person works in the fields

or flips hamburgers for a living

each person has the power

to lift up or destroy

each of us have the wonderful, terrible ability

to use our words

to add value to another

or to tear them down

it is a power we must use carefully

some do not

and those with the biggest, and the paradoxically, most fragile egos

are those most likely to destroy

those who are at peace with themselves, and have no need to exalt themselves

are the most likely to help and heal

the choice is clear

we know the choice some have made

as for me

I would prefer

To provoke

greatness
