It can only be too late when you are dead
Unless of course you mean ........too late to benefit from the commercial angle of this ideal.......but it can be applied to every aspect of life...can it not?

Too late to benefit from Purple Feathers' top ten copywriting tips. If I'd known about them in 1972, I might be creative director at J.Walter Thompson New York by now. Then, again, maybe not...

Re: Just take a minute......

I've always enjoyed the diversity of the English Language & its words, the subtle nuances & inflections in use can turn a phrase so that it may mean many things. Words that we choose can empower us & give life, vision & vibrancy to pretty much anything when used well & the clip quite aptly reinforces this.

Subtle, engaging, captivating, time perhaps for a little introspection ? Thank you.

Margaret, that was so touching I had to play it again as I hadn't registered the advert at the end! Words matter.

Re: Just take a minute......

I really do think we need to take into consideration the words we use everyday and to think that we could well be hurting someone with those same words, this also goes for some actions or even inactions

Please think before doing or even not doing something

thanks marg for posting this

Re: Just take a minute......

You're Welcome H.R.
We forget that words can be as sharp as little daggers....except they don't cut our skin and make us bleed.......they cut our psyche and allow our innermost self to leak away. They are hard to forget......they rattle round in our consciousness and come back over and over again.

I am sure we can all think of a time when we have been told something which has hurt us more than we care to admit....or we ourselves have said something that we wish we had never said....and we know that we have done it with only one intent.......to hurt...to wound.

However, the little clip is about seeing things differently....and using words to portray something in a different light.
If it has made just one person think.......then I am glad I posted it.
Thankyou for all your positive responses.
