Language means itself. (jake yoon)

We can hear a lof of powerful words in our lives. Someone who has powerful words and knows how to use language can be a leader in the society.

"Language is indeed one of the most powerful things we possess"

in THE POWER OF LANGUAGE by Jessie Lange

someone who knows how to use language wisely can earn a lot of money and can be a rich. This ability doesn't come out randomely, we have to practice how to use it and how to deal with it. One word can express everything and can impact even one society. For example, "I have a dream " by Martin Luther king, this made amazing imapct on the society.
If there's no language, there will be no conversation between people, there will be no connection between people, and also there will be no intersetion between people at all. And i also think about if we don't have language, how about the poeple who work for language, like lawyers, news anchors, journalists, no nothing..

when i think of myself, i came here in the united staes because of language, and i went to school because of language, i met my friends because of language, it involves everything, i cannot imagine world without language. Im writing now, becuase i can write languge, im listening to music right now because they made music from words,language, im sending text messaging thanks to language...

Language itself has lots of history. i believe language is one of the powerful ability we have.

I agree with your opinion.
i also write about this quote in blog.:)
the language is a great human ability. that can be more easily show our thoughts and feelings. excepting languages, we can not show our feeling more clearly and we can not communicate each other.
Therefore, i also belive, the languages are powerful ability we have.

i am totally agree with your opinion because i heard a story when i was in China. A famous writer in China gave up being a doctor and he chose to be a writer because he believe that a writer could wake up people and solve problems rather than a doctor...

I also think like you. If we do not have language, we are hard to express our feeling and thought. Just one language can make people's change, so, i believe language is the most important thing to us. If we do not have language, maybe, we are not able to do our assignment, especially writing.:) haha
