When I was in Pre-U, once I asked my Maths teacher how I fared in the Applied Maths paper in the exams. He said ' Don't worry. You have done well '. These were reassuring words; they put me at ease.
Years ago I got some rashes on my body and I went to see the doctor. After some examination and questions, he said, 'Not to worry. Nothing serious.'. Again, just a few words but they were comforting. I could almost feel the healing has started.
However, words can also hurt us whether the person saying them is intentional or not. We cannot control what people say. We also cannot control our emotions but I believe we can learn to manage our emotions so as to let the good ones flourish and the bad ones dissipate.
