Word-masters are not often talked about. What are they? As you’d expect, word-masters are the opposite of word-users. Word-users merely use words and word-masters master words. Word-masters know in the beginning is the word and that it can be denied only by confirming it, that is by using it. Word-masters know the power of words, that is what words do to themselves and others. That, my friend, is the difference between the two. THE ORIGINAL

Maxwell Maltz is the author of “Psycho-Cybernetics”. Haven’t read it? I suggest you do. Based on the power of the self-image and visualisation to achieve personal goals, Psycho-Cybernetics, first published in 1960,  is the classic self-help book that inspired every self-help book published in the 85 years since.

Charles Darwin, born 215 years ago, died 142 years ago, didn’t believe the most successful lie ever told, according to which the past is in a book. Instead of that he decided to find out what happened in the past by himself. Aged 22 he embarked on a five-year voyage on a Cherokee-class 10-gun brig-sloop named “Beagle”, after which he concluded — like yours truly, albeit for different reasons — all species descend from a

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, said William Shakespeare some 430 years ago. Now, 430 years later, so it is with words. A word by any other word is a word. No matter what you call it, if you have aword for it, it’s a word. WORDS You are either controlled (by words). Or you are controlling (words). There is no in-between.

James Frederick Ferrier (born 216 years ago / died 160 years ago) was a Scottish word-user, writer, lawyer, and university professor. His wife Margaret Anne Wilson wrote under the pseudonym Christopher North.
