HOW TO BUILD A POWER VOCABULARY By J. Michael Bennett Vocabulary words of a language Main Ideas: Power with words is usually more convenient and effective than clumsy, pictorial representation, signals, vague references, or even the real objects. As civilation advanced, we have come to respect and admire the person who can use languagethe tool of the mind- in an incisive and persuasive manner. Much of the potentially useful information we are exposed to is lost or wasted because we lack the ability to capitalize on certain opportunities.

Most of the famous men and women who helped shaped our world possessed and wielded enormous power power attained, in a large part, because of their mighty gifts with language.

He wrote articles to enlighten his fellowmen about what is really happening in the country during the Spanish Colonization.
