Soft words win over even opponents, whereas harshness of speech and raw behaviour of uncivilized persons though not harming physically, antagonises all coming in contect.





Those having an high ambition to achieve success in establising orderliness in a small or large family, should make a beginning by doing so far their own self. The formost virtue to be imbibed for this purpose is softness of speech. Soft words win over even opponents, whereas harshness of speech and raw behaviour of uncivilized persons though not harming physically, antagonises all coming in contect. The latter have few friends and many enemies and generally people avoid meeting such perons. Softness of speech does neither mean flattery nor statement of falsehood. One need not give false assurance of assistance. Such a practice pleases all but ultimately brings to the person branding one as liar who never means what is being said. Hence sweetness of speech must also be associated with frankness and truth. With a little tact and humility one can pleasently express one’s helplessness and make the other person understand without causing any annoyness, that the situation is beyond former’s control. This is how the culture of verbal interaction is developed.
