Your Choice
of Words …I think, I feel, I believe, I know
When it comes to you expressing your views and leading your people, your choice of words conveys
your degree of assurances in relation to the contents of your statements. The most common range of words includes: think, feel, believe and know.
When you think this is
the way to go, it leaves room for doubt. When you feel this is the way to go, it leaves a little less room for doubt.
When you believe this is the way to
go, it conveys confidence. When you know
this is the way to go, it conveys assurance.
When a group of people are lost in the mountains, how comforting
are the words, “I know the way back to camp.”
In most circles, we often hear, “I think” and rarely hear, “I believe”
or “I know.” Start listening to the words used by others and note their countenance and the impact of their statements.
Also, take note of your use of the words think, feel, believe and know; then implement
the appropriate changes.
In today’s complex, challenging, competitive world, every word has
significance and every word has a ripple effect. Much of the In-Syncness
philosophy of life is based upon proper word usage, which is extensively detailed in the
In-Syncness books which can be reviewed and purchased at www.insyncness.com/books Links to Amazon and
