Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard.

Attitudes are the real figures of speech. ”

And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength. ”
