FOUR WORDS THAT CHANGED A LIFE
"Four Words that Changed a Life", an article in Chicago Tribune by Greene (1998), is about how words can echo in a traumatic or a pleasant way in children's minds. The author used as examples two anecdotes that can be considered as a daily situation but that marked the life of the people involved in the affair. The first example, tells the story of a mother who used to call her son stupid and how those words affected his behaviour, and the second one is about how "four words" said by a teacher changed the life of one young man when he was at the high-school in a positive way. "Are you too stupid to do anything right?" and "This is good writing". As the author said: "So few words. They can changed everything".
