Words

Do you use your langue or your tongue when you talk?

By In Words, You

It rather depends on your mother and your mother tongue, I think.

When your mother tongue is French, je pense you use your langue.

When your mother tongue is English, I think you use your tongue.

To summarise, I think word-users of different mother tongues use different words to describe the same thing.

Get lost in translations

Words are getting lost in translation.

There’s nothing new about it. It’s been going on since the beginning of words 13,750 years ago when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.
Just imagine the number of translations in the 13,750 years since!

Tongue and langue are no exception. They too get lost in translation.

Tonguage translated to French is language which explains why French word-users talk about their language using their langues.

But language never got translated to English which makes it a different story entirely. Unlike their French counterparts, the English word-users talk about what they believe is their language unaware that langue translated to English is tongue, and the French langage translated to English is tonguage.

Talk about getting lost in translation.
Billions of word-users all over the world as we speak, and counting.

Takeaway

I think it’s legitimate to inquire about the difference between the different mother tongues.
Why do both the French and English word-users use the French langage? Why don’t the English word-users use tonguage instead? After all, they’d know what they’re talking about.

If tonguage and language don’t describe the same thing, why don’t the French use langage and the English tonguage. Doesn’t everybody want to know what everybody’s talking about? Your guess trumps mine by smiles, so please let me know what you think that is.

The secret to my success

By In Words, You

#1: I take care of my body. By my body I mean both parts of my body, the parts above my shoulders and the parts below my shoulders.

Above my shoulders is the 1/8th of my height that contains my vocal cords (my words), my brain, and my four common senses — eyes, ears, tongue, and nose.

Below my shoulders are the other 7/8th of my height, the wordless part that contains my common senses number five (feel) and six (touch).

#2: Every day I respond to what’s going within me and without me. By I respond I mean to everything my six senses are able to sense.

Contrary to common sense

Contrary to our common senses, words are a different story entirely.

Word are understood, that is stood under, while our senses are sensed, that is stood over.

Invented 13,750 years ago (when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice), words number meanwhile millions or more, billions if you believe the word-users that pretend to have counted them all. Be it as it may, millions words is a number far too large to remember, let alone to know them all. That is why we just keep repeating the same hundred words over and over again, like a constant replay of a song on our playlist that triggers both good thoughts (positive, constructive, uplifting ) and bad (stress, anxiety, fear, anger) over and over again. Most of the time we ignore which words trigger the good thoughts and which the bad.

This explains the importance of knowing which among the millions of words send positive signals from the brain to your body and which send negative signals instead. Positive words stimulate different areas of your brain that then releases the success hormones dopamine and oxytocin to your body that motivate you to succeed.

Five tried and true ways to succeed?

  • Practice words you clearly know the meaning of.
  • Monitor your feelings with a difference: Don’t think them, feel them instead!
  • Help others because helping others builds trust and generates word-of-mouth reputation.
  • Have a vision of ending up somewhere on purpose (as opposed to a rolling stone with no direction home) because vision has you doing the right things before doing things right.
  • Know the secret to always be on your journey is knowing you always are.

Together, these five ways to succeed allow you to replace bad words with good words, and therefore also replace successful thoughts with unsuccessful ones.

For example, if someone were to cut in front of you in the checkout line, you might replace the expletives forming on your tongue with words that help the other word-user, making you feel good.

Takeaway

Without further ado begin with the first of the five tried and true ways to succeed.

Work on your words.

It might just give you the extra shot of dopamine and oxytocin to make it another beautiful day to remember.

By the time we get to the end of a cappuccino, we will know how I can help you build a better life. 100% free. No upsells.

The story of words

By In Words

Even though

  • Even though in the beginning is the word.
  • Even though everything we know is a word.
  • Even though before the word nothing existed.
  • Even though everything begins with the word.
  • The story of words isn’t told when stories are told to a word-user’s child.
  • The story of words isn’t told when stories are told at kindergarten.
  • The story of words isn’t told when stories are told at school.
  • The story of words isn’t told when stories are told at grammar school.
  • The story of words isn’t told when stories are told at university.
  • The story of words isn’t told to word-user graduates.

Is it any wonder?

No, it’s no wonder nobody knows the story of words.
No, it’s no wonder nobody knows how it all began.

On the contrary

Because if everybody knew the story of words, it would be revolution.

The words revolutionised evolution when they were invented 13,750 years ago, when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.

If everybody knew the story of words, they would revolutionise evolution all over again, as they did 13,750 years ago.

On that, my friend, I give you my word.

Welcome to word explosion #13.

As usual, we begin with YOU for that’s what the word explosions, also known as the constant information avalanches, are about.

With what you IS and ARE, you DO respond to them the best you can

YOU

The preceding word explosions took a closer look at what you IS, ARE, and what you DO. #13 is taking a closer look at…

You HAVE

You have, also known as you possess, 3 types of things.

  • Gifts you’re meant to open.
  • Things that cannot be bought.
  • Things money can buy.

GIFTS YOUR MEANT TO OPEN

Your abilities. The internet and social media want you to believe you posses a total of 600 abilities. Ignore 599 of them. The only ability that matters is your ability to respond, also known as response-ability. As you improve your ability to respond, all other abilities improve at the same time. Forget about the other 599 is what word explosion recommends.

THINGS THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT

Freedom, vision, personal growth, the coeurage it takes to follow through, physical fitness. gratitude, respect for you and others, friends, curiosity, intelligence, serenity, wisdom.

THINGS MONEY CAN BUY

Like the majority of animals, word-users are a status seeking animal. Driven by the approval of others, status is a fundamental aspect of word-user interaction, a form of social currency. Status money can buy include designer clothes, shoes, sneakers, fancy homes, flashy cars, Hermès bags, Rolex watches, exclusive memberships, likes, and testimonials.

WORDS

Words aren’t a gift you’re meant to open. As you know from personal experience, you were born without words, wordless.

WORD USE

All animals are born wordless, the meanwhile 9 billion word-users included. Therefore, using words is something we have to learn. In this we are unique, the only animal on Earth to do so.

The other 9 million species of animals, far too many to count, stubbornly refuse to use words to this day. Why? Nobody knows and they’re not telling for self-evident reasons.

What do the wordless know the wordful ignore? Mystery.

Two types of animals

By In Words, You

The Carnival of the Animals is a musical about animals that talk and sing — lions, hens, roosters donkeys, tortoises, elephants, kangaroos, fish, cuckoos, swans and other kinds of birds — composed by Camille Saint-Saëns 139 years ago.

The Carnival of the Animals is not alone. It is similar to Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, which features talking pigs, boars, horses, a donkey, sheep, dogs, chickens, cows, ravens, and cats.

The two together are similar to Walt Disney’s animated films that feature talking and singing mice, ducks, dogs, lions, deer, elephants, bears, meerkats, warthogs, fish, other kinds of birds, flowers and teapots, too, to name a few.

All of these animals, flowers, and teapots are beloved by word-users of all ages.

Why?

Because all of these talk and sing just like we talk and sing.

What’s wrong?

What’s wrong with that is that the majority of word-users do not know there exist two types of animals.

  1. The animals that use words ever since the first words got invented 13,750 years ago when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.
  2. The wordless animals that stubbornly refuse to use words to this.

100% of the animals are born wordless

Both types of animals are born wordless. Zero exceptions. It’s only after both types of animals are born that for reasons unexplained they pursue their own separate ways.

Word-users vs wordless

9 million animal species — far too many to count — stubbornly refuse to use words to this day, while just one other animal specie, also known as word-users, their number meanwhile 9 billion and counting, use words after they’re born. That’s how we know in the beginning is the word. Word-using animals learn words between the ages of 1 and 6, some faster, some slower, from their parents and at school.

The word-user is unique, the only specie on Earth that uses words.

None of tbe other 9 million species of animals talk for they never went to school where words are taught.

The Carnival of the Animals,  Animal Farm, animated films

Whether it’s in The Carnival of the Animals, Animal Farm, or animated films, when you hear talking and singing lions, hens, roosters donkeys, tortoises, elephants, kangaroos, fish, birds, pigs, boars, horses, sheep, dogs, chickens, cows, ravens, cats, mice, ducks, deer, bears, meerkats, warthogs, trees, mountains, flowers, teapots, superwoman, superman, James Bond, and gods, it’s the words and voices of one of the 9 billion word-using animals that went to school where words are taught that talks and sings on their behalf.

Makes you wonder how much the wordless know the wordful don’t know anything about, doesn’t it?
