- - Praneeth Ponnekanti

THE HUMAN VOICE ● It's the instrument we all

play.

● It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably.

● And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. And why is that?

How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HABITS THAT WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM !

I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking !

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF SPEAKING :

1. Gossip2. Judging3. Negativity4. Complaining5. Excuses6. Exaggerating7. Dogmatism

Don’t Gossip

“If they gossip about everyone to you,then they are gossiping about you too…”

Don’t Judge

“If you judge people,then you have no time to love them.”

Negativity

“Being positive wont guarantee you’ll succeed, but being negative will guarantee you wont. “

Don’t complain

“Have a heart of praise, it is better than mournful complaints”

Don’t lie

“One lie is enough to question all truths.”

DOGMATISM”Dogmatism is the greatest of mental illness to the human happiness.”

“Erase the confusion between opinion and fact.”

So finally,
