“Positive words have enough force as that would be required for eggs to break a stone.”
This phrase gives a straightforward description of the power that positive thinking has.
In the trading industry, which is enjoying a “second heyday” with the recent success in overseas resource development projects, there is a CEO who is elucidating the power of positive words.
President & CEO Mark Juhn of Hyundai Corporation has been recently focusing on elucidating the “power of positive words” to his employees, following his “theory on luck (If you think you are lucky, you will indeed become lucky)”.
The power of positive words described by CEO Juhn is as follows:
Every one of us talks. The words that one speaks have in them “energy” that is unique to that one person. This “energy” embodies the thoughts of the person and is wholly transferred to the party he/she is talking to.
The main point of CEO Juhn’s theory on being positive is that having positive, rather than negative, thoughts leads to the development of an organization or individual.
When CEO Juhn meets his employees or acquaintances, he recommends a recently published book titled “Positive Words, Powerful Results” written by Hal Urban.
This is a book that describes how positive words, which can open up the hearts of other people, can lead to powerful results, based on the writer’s own experience. The powerful results that positive words can bring include making the other party open up to you, changing despair to hope, giving the other party courage, expressing gratitude and respect, and leading to the success of both you and the other party.
CEO Juhn especially likes the part in the book where it says, “Simply hearing positive words gives people vitality, laughter, and overflowing energy. On the other hand, simply thinking of negative words makes people mad and uneasy, and also creates a dark atmosphere.”
We often have negative thoughts while living our daily lives. The world is getting even tougher, which is leading to more and more negative thoughts.
Maybe this is the reason why we are moved emotionally with CEO Juhn’s theory on the power that positive words have.
