And Then Some News

Day 275, "Be the bearer of good news," (from the book SMOERs) prompted this comment: There is some new, terrific news. The book, SMOERs --- Self Motivation, Optimism, Encouragement Rules: Daily Reminders for Outstanding Living, has been proofed and sent to the printer, and it should be available at Amazon.com in just a couple of weeks. Despite the size of the book (over 400 pages), we have kept the price as low as possible --- just $14.95. We are excited, and we think you are going to love this new book. It is unlike anything we've published previously. Under Day 275, Jennifer James writes, "The accumulation of small, optimistic acts produces quality in our culture and in your life...." We are sure that SMOERs has the potential for producing quality in your life.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
The real power of language will be yours if you work to expand your vocabulary
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
I would tell [students that expanding their vocabulary] would help improve their image by adding color to their personality, dynamism to their character, and self-confidence and poise to their presence. In addition, a better vocabulary will energize their thinking power. Directly connected with the speech-communication discipline, I would tell them that a powerful vocabulary will enable them to become fluent conversationalists, maximize their ability to persuade and influence others, transform their negotiating skills, increase their powers of expression, and make it possible for them to articulate their most complex thoughts and ideas. With respect to their future, a better vocabulary will pay dividends in both business and social advancement, impress other professionals, clients, and customers, increase their earning power, and enhance their social status.
