Answer:
I don’t know whether you have seen the Yo.uTube video clip titled The Power of Words link here but it is really quite powerful and a great lesson for us in our business and personal relationships. It portrays a man begging for money with a cardboard sign that says ‘I’m blind, Please help” and a only few people toss him coins. That is, until a woman comes along and rewrites his sign causing the donations to double.
She writes ‘It’s a beautiful day and I can’t see’. She solved a problem by thinking in a lateral way and expressing the man’s message differently with colour and imagery and emotion, eliciting a totally different result. It’s about being aware of the power of words, and the realisation we can change almost anything in our world when we change our words.
If he had said “I’m blind and 20% of the world are too so help us” , then that logical, data based, analytical approach would have interested and generated a response from a few more people but not double.
