Words Matter Week: Writing Challenge Day 5

March 6, 2020 2 Comments

Friday’s writing challenge: Words can smooth a rough situation. What words have you found have turned a bad situation around?

Interested in participating in the NAIWE writing challenge? Each day we will post a question. Respond to the question on your blog or social media page (be sure to include #WordsMatterWeek in your response), and then link back to it in the comments of the corresponding article on the NAIWE blog. For each challenge you respond to, you will receive one entry (and a bonus entry for each response written on your NAIWE blog). At the end of the week, we will have a drawing, and one person will win free access to a NAIWE webinar, along with a mention and link in the next newsletter!

Post in the comments below with a link to your response to today’s question.

    #WordsMatterWeek
    In Chinese, there is a saying: Take one step backwards, and the ocean will appear more vast and the sky more immense.
    “A bad situation” often is a gray-colored, personal, and therefore tunnel-visioned outlook on a situation. Stepping back from it means to detach yourself from your present outlook, and re-assessing the matter from a wider angle. It could be as simple as, “Ten years from now, shall I remember this day?” Or something slighter harder, like “Is this cup half-empty or half-full?”
