Instead of "work" say the outcome of what you are about to do. So instead of I'm going back to Ralph's to work, you'd say I'm going back to Ralphs's to help customers get the food they need to feed their families. Instead of "I'm sick", I'm getting rid of my virus so I can get healthy. Good points.

The leading questions - up to this comment - got 169 responses. Isn't that what everyone wants? An interactive blog with living content/comments from lots of people. Great question. I decided not to respond after I saw so many answers. I decided to skip it all and find the answer. Good job, you kept my attention! The Marketing Remedy Very intriguing.

Great job Robert! www.deceptionsecrets.com -jef hey, Robert, you hit on two things that I think most people aren't taking advantage of... because they just don't realize them!

1 - that the words we use affect the way we view things (positive or negative) and

2 - that incremental changes can bring big results.

Great job Robert!

Don't you think the word hate is a bit over-worked? Some work at hate, others hate to work. Don't you just hate hate? I know I would, if I could only figure out how to do it logically. Hmmm....

"Work: My Most Hated Word!"

Don't you think the word hate is a bit over-worked?

Some work at hate, others hate to work.

Don't you just hate hate?

I know I would, if I could only figure out how to do it logically.

Dear Robert and Jason,

That reminds me I gotta go now I just remembered something I had to do.

Now I work a lot, enjoy it, save 50 0/0 of my earnings. The things I used to enjoy , golf for example, I hardly do any more as I could do it any time. My father-in-law worked in to his 80's which I didn't understand at the time. Hope I do the same plus. He lived untill 100 + I hope for the end of next week. I didn't like work until I retired.

Even if the other person thinks they know what "it worked" means, of course they could be thinking something completely different than what you mean by it. Something to think about for sure... I'll get right to work on that, :b Really interesting take when you say that even used in a positive way the word isn't specific enough to be useful.
