Raise Your Vocabulary By 400 Words Before Christmas (Day 5) by ayolatun(m): 10:47pm On Sep 23, 2016 |
According to language monitor, there are 1,025,109 words in English language. Nevertheless, I don't think you'll need that amount of words to communicate effectively. However, your vocabulary should be robust and should indicate your level of knowledge. Shaquille O'Neal, a retired American professional basketball player told a story during his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. O'Neal said he got a scholarship into college because he was able to impress the coach with a word he had just picked out of the dictionary that day. The coach must have thought of him as a brilliant kid. So, Shaq was awarded a scholarship to college and then ended up as one of the most dominant centers in the NBA. See how important it is to build your vocabulary? Jingle bells... Challenge begins - Day 5 https://infobinger..com.ng/

Here's a quote by Leonardo da Vinci, "Learning never exhausts the mind" Day 1 of the challenge was great.We started with words such as abash, abdicate, aberrant and abet. Remember, the key to improving your vocabulary is not by memorizing the words but it's by understanding and consistently applying the words. Don't get tired, enjoy.

I will begin today's post with a quote from Napoleon Hill and it says, The starting point of all achievement is desire You want anything in life, you need to have desire for it. A desire that radiates a strong wish, will eventually lead to success. There are a lot of learning points attached to this journey of improving vocabulary by 400 words before Christmas. It's not just about the words, but the process that you and I go through to becoming better at something. And I think that process is the same in all facets of life. Success is Universal and it takes God, perseverance, hard work... You name it. Enjoy today's words. https://infobinger..com.ng/2016/09/raise-your-vocabulary-by-400-words_28.html

It's day five already and we have gone through twenty words (some peeps better be feeling smarter!). Please do remember that the only way to benefit from this exercise is to use these words at the slightest opportunity. And by the time we get to word three hundred and ninety-five, you'll feel like an Harvard or Yale graduate. Also, don't be selfish ( share with your family, friends and even enemies). Just spread the love. Enjoy today's words. Please share and drop your suggestions/feedback. http://infobinger..com/2016/09/raise-your-vocabulary-by-400-words_30.html
