In a world where conversations are often reduced to text messages and social media comments, it’s easy to forget the power that words hold. The phrases we use can build bridges or erect walls. They can lift spirits or shatter dreams. Today, we’re going to explore 20 things we should say more often, inspired by the effervescent Kid President and his viral video that has taken the internet by storm.
“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.” – Albus Dumbledore.
And Kid President is the Dumbledore of our Muggle World!
20 Things We Should Say More Often
1. “Thank You”
Gratitude is the golden thread that binds hearts. Saying “thank you” acknowledges the efforts of others and makes them feel valued. It’s a small phrase with a colossal impact.
2. “Excuse Me”
Politeness never goes out of style. “Excuse me” is the hallmark of civility. It’s the gentle nudge that says, “I respect your space.”
3. “Here’s a Surprise Corn Dog!”
Kid President hilariously suggests giving corn dogs as a token of friendship. The takeaway? Small, unexpected acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day.
4. “I’m Sorry”
Apologizing when you’re wrong is a sign of strength, not weakness. It mends fences and paves the way for healing.
5. “I Forgive You”
Forgiveness is the balm that heals the soul. It’s not just about the other person; it’s about setting your own heart free.
6. “You Can Do It!”
Encouragement is fuel for the soul. When we believe in others, we empower them to achieve the unimaginable.
7. “I Have Barbecue Sauce on My Shirt Too”
This quirky phrase from Kid President is a reminder that nobody is perfect. It’s okay to have flaws; it makes us human and to check yourself before commenting toward others.
8. “Please”
A simple “please” can turn a demand into a request. It’s the sugar that makes any piece of communication palatable.
9. “Everything is Going to be Okay”
Sometimes, all we need to hear is that things will get better. This phrase is a beacon of hope in the stormy seas of life.
10. “Aw! You Got Me a Corn Dog Too?”
Reciprocating kindness is just as important as initiating it. It creates a cycle of goodwill.
11. “I Don’t Know”
Admitting when you don’t have the answers is honest and refreshing. It opens the door to learning and growth.
12. “You’re So Awesome!”
Compliments are free, so give them generously. They can turn a frown into a smile.
13. “Hello Person I’ve Never Met Before, Here’s a High-Five!”
Kid President encourages us to be friendly and open. A high-five can be the start of a lifelong friendship.
14. “My Sports Team is Not Always the Best Sports Team”
Being humble and realistic, especially when it comes to the tribal world of sports, is a virtue.
15. “Nothing”
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all. Silence can be golden.
16. “[Fart Sound]”
Laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes a silly sound can break the ice and make everyone laugh.
17. “I Disagree with You, But I Still Like You as a Person”
In an age where disagreements can turn ugly, it’s important to remember that differing opinions don’t make someone less human. Respect is key.
18. “Sometimes You Just Gotta Scream!”
Kid President reminds us that it’s okay to let it all out sometimes. A good scream can be cathartic.
19. “Life is Tough, But So Are You”
This is a reminder that you are stronger than you think. Through the storms of life, never forget the strength that resides within you.
20. “Something Nice”
If you can’t think of anything nice to say, you’re not thinking hard enough. Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul.
Bonus: “Let’s Dance!”
Because sometimes, you just need to dance like nobody’s watching!
Kid President’s video is not just a list; it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that the words we choose to use every day can change the world in small ways. These things we should say more often can create ripples of positivity that can break barriers and build bridges.
So, let’s take a page out of Kid President’s book. Let’s use our words to heal, to build, to inspire, and to empower. Let’s make the world a little brighter, one word at a time.
And now, over to you. What do you think people should say more often? How will you use your words to make the world a better place?
