"Words can inspire. And
words can destroy. Choose yours well." This assertion stated by Robin
Sharma elucidates Mohammed Qahtani's argument in the simplest of forms. For the
most part, the majority of society takes no discretion when speaking to others
and utters whatever crosses their minds without considering the deleterious consequences
they might have on others such as in Qahtani's example about his friend Nasser.
In his speech, "The Power of Words",
Qahtani addresses the topic by giving various examples of how people were
affected, positively and negatively, by mere words. What strikes me the most
about his presentation is his articulacy and persuasiveness. Just one minute in,
I had already been deceived by Oahtani's eloquence and fully believed him up
until he confessed he was lying. The most important thing I truly learned from
his presentation was that the way words are delivered is of extreme importance.
For example, Qahtani mentions how people who cannot articulate words in a
powerful and expressive manner will not be taken seriously such as was the case
with the scientists who tried to talk about global warming on the television.
In order to grab the audience's attention in any public speaking event, the
speaker himself should be as fluent, expressive, and convincing as possible. Even
if something is extremely important but is not articulated in the most
persuasive manner, it will have no effect on the people being addressed.
