Attitudes are the real figures of speech!
Solution
Attitudes are the real figures of speech!:
Language is the enabler of speech and conversation but it is one's attitude that determines action. Language can be used to construct beautiful imagery but ultimately it is one’s attitude that shapes reality. There are many situations in our daily lives where we use words mechanically, but it is equally important to understand how those spoken words are received. Figures of speech can make the language seem ornate but only when received rightly can they have the intended impact. Words can be used to create guidelines but only attitudes can create the right examples. All said and done, words are just the vehicles to drive home the intended meaning. They can be conveniently altered to fit the situation. However, one's attitude is one’s inseparable companion and it is not easy to modify it in any significant way. How we receive it can in fact change what we believe, and what we believe will influence what we do! In summation, it would be fair to say that words describe but attitudes define!
