35、 However，thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it，though. But we really shou
36、ldnt be，because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate(激发) ourselves，remember things，solve problems and calm ourselves down.

And we remember unkind words said to us！Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesnt
40、 pass this test，then its better left unsaid.Words possess power：both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope，build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to
