Words

Disclaimer: all below require context and balance, obviously.

Words we use too much:
-Me 
- I
- I think
- I can't do...
- I won't do...
- I want
- I need

Words we do not use enough:
- You
- Thank you
- I am sorry
- I appreciate _____
- What do you think?
- How are you? (and actually listening to the answer).
- I can...
- How can I help...

 The words on the bottom often lead to happiness. The words on the top often lead to disappointment.

    Just as I'm typing this I hear one person ask another, "How are you" and then walk away. Haha!
