  These 8 things can make you or break you. WORDS ARE POWERFUL; USE THEM WISELY Have you ever said anything that you wish you could take back? Hey, perhaps you have a perfect record when speaking. I know I don’t. I haven’t always been as careful, as considerate or as mature as I am today. Not that I don’t make mistakes still, but I certainly don’t put my foot in my mouth as often and I did when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. T h e words we say carry a lot of weight on them.
