Words sometimes could be very sharp and are possible to kill someone from the inside. Those have such a vital role in order to lead someone belongs to. So, be careful on whatever you say, in unconsciously, you could assassinate somebody.

Have you ever asked by someone about your job? It is like “how is the situation you feel…? how much salary are you getting paid…? or, how good are you in handling your job…?” When you answer them as how it occurs to you, then they blame you since regard that you are within a toxic scope; your salary is less enough; and you are not that good in handling the job. So when you hear those, what things are coming up first?

Perhaps, you might be frustrated and think that what they have said is true. You believe that you have been living in the toxic zone; you believe that you deserve to get more salary; and you do believe that you are not able to handle your own job. Then, by those statements you feel no more confident and think that you have been wrong on deciding where you should work for. By those, your life have ruined unconsciously, yet you do not realize it.

Let’s imagine this, when you believe that you have been in a toxic zone while before you are just feel fine; know that the words that which you heard have already turned the situation on getting worse. Before someone stated that you are in a toxic area, you were still able to enjoy any situation in your office. Yet, after you listened up to those, your mind was about thinking “they are true”. Furthermore, since that day, you begin regarding yourself have been in a wrong place — you do not belong to be there and try to find another job. So you decide to resign and look for the other jobs; unfortunately you fail of finding it —you have no more jobs since deciding to resign from the previous office.

On the other case; you believe that you deserve to get more salary than you usually get. So you see the chief and ask for him/her to increase your salary. You threaten him/her if he/she would not willing to follow up your request, you are ready to resign. That unfortunately the chief refuse your demand — and what makes it worse is you are kicked out from your work. It happens due to you believe on what people said to you previously — that a job kind of yours should be paid more as it not enough to fund your needs. While actually, ways before, you were just fine of the salary and you even managed to fund all of your needs.

By now, let’s stop stating, arguing, saying something unnecessary to someone. Our un-responsible words could be a reason for her/him to get ruined. Life which should be as sweet as she/he dreams for could be faded rapidly because of words.

It is not our business to say something bad for the others. It is not our business at all to make a valuation toward their life. Every person has different life going, so we cannot force it to be as similar as we have or lead it to be as what we want.

As we know, words are simple and more simple when someone is coming it out from mouth. Yet, words are strong enough to change somebody to be better or even getting worse.

If you realize that every word that you are spoken up does not have any essential kindness, so hold it on and please avoid it away to state it upon someone else.

Not all people have the same mentality; some are able to fight the enemy called pressure which attacked them from the inside; yet some are not strong enough to face that enemy by themselves. So, be careful; those who killed themselves due to depression… some just began with words. That is why words sometimes could be a wild and sharp weapon that strike a person.

Just think many times before talking. Do not take down their life by your sharp words. It is better to keep in silence rather to speak up too much yet all of your statements are meaningless.
