They

“They said this” and “They said that”. “In fact, the other day when I was standing over there, they were staring at me.” “Well, as far as I am concerned, I don't care what they think.” “They better not try that with me.” They, they, they, they, they.

Do any of these phrases sound familiar? The tiny little word “They” gets more attention than one person telling another person not to think about pink elephants. No matter how one tries not to, the pink elephant or “they” is in the mind.

Mothers use “they”. Fathers use “they”. Reporters use “they” frequently such as when “they” say, “They don't understand or they predict this or they still don't know what they are talking about.” The truth is that use of “they” is abundant.

Here's the drill. Try for one day to notice how many times the word “they” is said in your presence, and then notice how many times “they” is employed by oneself. It may be difficult to manage, but you know what “they” say, “they are only as good as they demonstrate they are.”

Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
