Frances was a teacher. One day, she was teaching her students about the power of words and positive thinking. There was a girl named Sue in her class. She was always rude to the other children. Sue said, “What is so powerful about words? Can words change anything?” Frances said, “Yes, a lot can change with words and thoughts.” But Sue said, “No, I will not have bad luck if I keep saying ‘Bad luck,’ nor will I have good luck if I say so.” Frances said, “You are an ignorant person who does not deserve to be in my class.” The girl was hurt. She stared at Frances in shock. Then Frances smiled and said, “My harsh words hurt you, didn’t they? I just wanted to give you an example of how powerful words are.” Sue realised the power of words. She was never rude to anyone again.
