A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s.We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan.Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us.The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in（汽车影院）movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn.On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy.We were so excited, as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the car-toon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen.As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race bake to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie , like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry. But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream.That came on right before the movie.It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us.Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town.It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.
