Your Words To Others "Really" Matter in their Success


Do we know, how the power of "our words", influences others ? 

Words like, "Your hair sure is fixed nicely today", or "You did a great job on that", or "What would I do without you" ... These type words send people off happy about themselves, as well as how they think you feel about them.  Positive to a positive.

Well the opposite holds to.  When we say negative words or express negative feelings, this makes an impression too. 

Unfortunately, a friend today, told me something they said to their step-daughter ... "I can bet you right now, you will continue to set on your behind, and you will never amount to anything". 

Are we aware of the power of our words ?  Really ?  When we tell someone that they "will never" or "can't ever" amount to anything ... Did you know ? ... We are giving that person, PERMISSION, from YOU, yes permission from you, to NOT FAIL YOU, by doing as you say ... FAIL !

OK, so maybe you do feel this way about the person.  Do you really want their failure to rest in your hands ?  Or their success ?  If you think your words don't matter, it most certainly does.  This person probably looks at you as a mentor; Resting on every word you say. 

Negative can never turn into a positive, no matter how you may wish, nor by drilling someone.  Positive motivation is the key.  "You can do it", "You will succeed", even if you must fake your words.  Maybe in time, you too, will believe in the positive you are saying ! 

Please remember, Your words to others truly do matter in their success.

WORLD TRAVEL HOLDINGS NAMED 2011 "ELITE TRAVEL PARTNER OF THE YEAR" BY NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

World Travel Holdings (WTH) - the nation's leading cruise retailer - today announced that it has been named Norwegian Cruise Line's 2011 "Elite Travel Partner of the Year."  The company, which includes CruiseOne, Cruises Inc. and numerous other brands, was chosen for its overall revenue, year-over-year growth and commitment to the Norwegian brand. 

In presenting WTH with this recognition, Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line's president and chief executive officer, said "in 2011, we renewed our commitment to the travel agency community with the introduction of Partners First, our corporate philosophy of putting travel partners first.  Norwegian Cruise Line's success relies on the support of our travel partners and we appreciate their dedication to our brand."
In late 2010, WTH's home-based division - which encompasses CruiseOne franchisees and Cruises Inc. agents - held its annual National Conference aboard Norwegian Epic.  That event was the largest in the companies' history and was instrumental in building upon WTH's relationship with the cruise line, providing firsthand product knowledge to attendees and offering top producers unprecedented access to the Norwegian Cruise Line team. 

In accepting this year's award, Brad Tolkin, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of WTH said "I am honored to accept this prestigious award on behalf of the WTH employees, CruiseOne franchisees and Cruises Inc. agents who embraced this relationship and really made it happen in 2011.  We deeply value our partnership with Norwegian and know that their commitment to us has been critical in achieving a mutually successful partnership."

Dwain Wall, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CruiseOne and Cruises Inc., added "Norwegian Cruise Line has taken its commitment to the travel agency distribution model to new levels in 2011 with their Partners First initiative.  As an organization, WTH appreciates all that Norwegian continues doing to help us be successful.  This award signifies what two like-minded companies can achieve together, by supporting each other in every possible way."

Are you watching the new Super Nanny ?

If you want to learn HOW ... NOT to raise your children, watch the parents on Super Nanny. 
Tonight, Tues, Dec 4, one mother, locked the children in their room.  I guess, cause she didn't know how to deal with them.

Does she not know the damage which can occur.  I found this on the net, as one reference ...
The absolute denial of freedom, the denial of any kind of personal power or influence over one's life, affect the way he thinks, feels and acts. Isolation causes depression, despair, anxiety, rage, claustrophobia, hallucinations, problems with impulse control, and/or an impaired ability to think, concentrate, or remember." Studies have also shown that isolation can cause "impaired vision and hearing... tinnitus [(ringing in the ears)], weakening of the immune system, amenorrhea [(absence of menstrual periods in women)], premature menopause... and aggressive behavior in prisoners, volunteers and animals."
