Power of NOT!

Please don’t read this status any further!

Isn't this the best way to attract the readers to make them read your message? Generally experienced people insist on others to develop positive attitude and think positively. They think that the words you speak describe your personality. But the technique experts use to attract & convince people lies in the choice of words they make. There is a famous book in Tamil “Please Intha Puthakaththai Vangatheenga (Please don’t buy this book)” written by Gopinath, a well-known TV anchor. Surprisingly that book was declared as the best sold book and it created a record in sales of that year. Though people got convinced with the content of the book too later, it’s the name that attracted the readers to buy the book. Negative words reach faster at times and they can be carefully used to make a Positive impact. Many achievers in the world took just one extra step than other people who tried and failed to achieve the feat. Achievers took it right from the place, where others said it’s not possible to proceed further. So words like don’t, shouldn't provokes the adventurer in you to achieve results. The bosses or management will never listen to your requests until you say to them that you don’t want to serve their organization anymore. Again all these words should be used cautiously, else, chances of back firing are high. Other way a child does the same thing, which his parents advise not to do. People love to experiment things and gain experience from that, rather than listening to experienced ones. So here negative words may act as a caution note, still doesn't stop people from experimenting.

I was somehow thinking to experiment my learning on my son, who always cry going to school. As usual with huge roar he woke up, after repeated attempts of waking him up. So I told my wife that I’ll manage the situation and told my son “You shouldn't go to school today”. Even before I could say any more words, he removed his shoes and slept again happily. I was surprised to see my negative words not working in the right way. I forgot one fact that both me and my wife together listened to the lecture on the “Power of negative words” and she experimented the same even before I did, by saying to my Son “Don’t listen to anything your dad says”. It would have been great, if the same advice had been given to my Wife before our Marriage by my Mother-in-law
