Recently I said "They" in context to another part of my team on a different shore but meant it quite strongly as in "They did that not us!". I was gently reminded by this person I respect to say "We". Just repeating the sentence with a "We" instead of "They" turned the whole thing into such a positive statement.
Ironically the same day I received this mail with a "You" instead of "We" and it made me quite mad! I read it over again with a "We" instead and it magically transformed the mail into nothing much to be upset about.
It is a small word but certainly makes a whole lot of difference to what your saying and how you mean it. I have this friend who always had the ability to say *We*. Even if it was a task that I was supposed to do, X will always say "We" can do it! And it just made you feel like a team and no matter how tough the task the "We" factor made it light to the mind.
Tonight as I was chatting with my mom she was telling me of a cousin who made it more easier for his mom, battling sickness by always saying "We" as in We can beat this together!"
It's a small word but can make a big difference to the way we think, feel and act in a situation!
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . May my I's and You's be overshadowed by We's.

I remember and I know what @ina are talking about...
"We" or "You" does'nt makes much differrence when mentioning a statement.. but what makes more differrence is How it has been taken..
Afterall "L 'I' fe" has only I. Life is selfish ):-..
Dear Anonymous,
I guess I know who you are and am suprised to see your comment! Thank you for visiting! :)
I agree how we take things is in our control and so to take things well is important as well.
I guess just like the perspective of a glass being half empty or half full so is the perception of life... to one persons eyes it may seem selfish yet to another it may seem all about self-giving...! what do you think? :)
Cheers!
