Let Your Words be as Soft as Snowflakes

Let Your Words be as Soft as Snowflakes

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak,

but their echoes are truly endless.”

Mother Teresa, humanitarian     

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Let your words be as soft as snowflakes

Let your words fall on the listener ears as lightly as snow flakes falling in the night . . . . and your words will be absorbed as they were meant to be.

Your words once spoken can never be recalled from the listener’s mind, they will be carried in their thoughts . . . . and may be there forever.

You can have your words can fall softly as snow . . . . or fall like a rock, whatever you do your words will make a lasting impression.

As a professional you are a professional communicator . . . . and it’s important to understand the effects your words will have on people.

You should listen to understand the other person . . . . and speak with a purpose. By listening to the person they are giving you the insight on how you can assist or help them to fill full their needs.

Before you speak pause for a few moments to understand what the person said to you . . . . and to give you a few moments to prepare your response.

As professional communicators choose your words wisely as they will create a lasting impression that may last forever . . . . and you will be judged by your words that you leave behind.

As a business professional and communicator your words will make the difference between creating a successful business relationship generating referrals . . . . or missed business opportunities.

Let your words be as soft as snowflakes . . . . and let them gently fall on the listener ears and the words that you leave behind will leave a positive impression on the listener.

Motivational Power Quote

Speak With a Purpose

“The wise speak only

of what the know.”

Gandalf, Lord of the Rings

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Speak with a purpose


Speak when there is something constructive to say, if it’s not constructive remain silent, listen and learn.


Practice active listening to better understand the person that you’re speaking with to become more informed and effective communicator.


An effective communicator should know the subject that they’re speaking about. Speaking without knowledge of the subject is a pathway to a disaster and will make the speaker look unprofessional.


A wise person will not speak about a subject without the knowledge of the topic. Where they lack information on the topic they will do the research of the subject to gain the knowledge before they speak.


A wise person will speak with purpose on what they know, and be seen as an expert in their field.
