Words with Power Part III

In a recent comment to Words with Power, mstibbe writes, "Asking for people to help or offering help is psychologically very powerful. 

I like to end informal pitching letters and emails with 'let's talk' rather than a more formal 'Please contact me if you have any questions' or whatever.

A friend of mine was involved in a major company's website and changed the 'feedback' link to 'have your say' and they got ten times as much feedback as a result of that one simple change."

He's absolutely right about how different words have their own power:  not just for us, but for others as well.  Now, I'm wondering about the power that words have to connect, instead of just that very singular, individual response it brings up in us.  "Let's talk" isn't just powerful for mstibbe; it seems to have an affect on others as well.  Likewise, people responded more powerfully to "have your say" - much more powerfully than they did to "feedback."

So we have our own Words of Power, and they do something for us - eliciting an idea, feeling, or strong emotion.  However, now we see that certain words have power for a larger segment of people.

An additional writing/journalling exercise (in case you're running out of ideas!) could be to write about connection:  how one word of power makes you feel connected to something else, or even how we're all connected through a certain word.
