The lever is a simple machine used to lift heavy objects that would have been difficult or impossible with bare hands. A metal or wooden rod could be used as a lever. You place one end below the object to be lifted and on the other, exert a force in the opposite direction. A solid and stationary object should serve as a fulcrum to permit a rotating motion to the rod. In a nutshell, the lever multiplies the force you exert on an object, 2x, 4x or 100x depending on the length of the rod and the position of the fulcrum.
Words for me are like levers. We have seen in many ways how words and images create an experience beyond reality. It highlights some things and downplays others. Truth is powerful and profound but perception is a reality.
Words are a dime a dozen some may say, but the power of words to bring about change is indispensable. I think that learning to use words gives value to a person, for his survival and success. Day by day, we encounter problems that seem insurmountable. As simple as the lever does, let’s use words that inspires, that guides our efforts, that multiplies.
