sometimes words can be stronger then actions no matter how many times someone says sorry it still affects people

That was so kind of the women. Her words are the same thing as the sign, but except in a more positive way. Keeping things positive can bring you luck and it can give you less stress. (that's what I think) If she wrote like "I'm blind stupid give me money" on the sign, it's not the same as before and people will give you less money. This time, she said "It's a beautiful day and I cant see it" It's a more nice and positive way to explain it and people will give you more money, well, kind of. Like Ryan B said, words can affect people even though it's a joke, or if you say something mean only once, It can make a big change.

Each and every word might have its own meanings. Even though you ask someone if they were okay, you might of hurt someone badly and apologizing might not work for getting forgiveness. In the video, the woman arranged some words and all the people read the message and gave the blind man lots of money.

Words. Some people might say that they are one of the most powerful things in the world. I have to agree with that. If the words you use are plain words then it won't effect people as much as it would if your words are beautiful and you can sympathies with them. Sometimes it is as simple as saying the word sorry and other time you have to have a serious conversation with someone before you work something out. The cause of that is usually words. Words can be used for good or bad but it's your choice whether you are going to use it for good or bad.

It is so crazy how words can effect how people see something. Words can make people realize how good they have it, rich or not rich. You use things every day that you don't think about, somepeople can't walk, some people can't see, like the man in the video and others can't hear and some like Ally in Fish in a Tree, have trouble reading. You use things to an advantage when others can't use those things, and words help us " see" how good we have it, and they make us feel sad for others, which is why I think after she changed the sign, people thought of what some don't have.

i think the video shows that actions speak louder than words, in the video the women simply changes the words on the sign that makes more people give more than they did without the women. the women helped the man in a way that other people gave him more than before, that is how i think the video shows that actions speak louder than words.

I can change my words by showing not telling, for example instead of i was mad it should be (for show not tell) I stomped on the floor with power and my fist squeezed together. This can change sentences a lot because then the reader can visualize it and it can make them feel bad or feel good (by feel bad I mean kind of like the blind person video). That is why showing instead of telling can change your sentences.

This video is so sweet and kind. I feel so bad for the man that that was blind. The sign in the beginning of the story was more of a tell. At first I thought the girl was going to write something bad but it was kind and a show. I am glad the man got a lot of money.

Words are VERY powerful. Just think, in the video the man's sign said "I'm blind. Please Help." He got a few donations not many. After the woman came and changed the sign to "It's a beautiful day and I CAN'T see it." Because of the this change the man got many MORE donations then before. I think this happened because people felt more sympathy when they realized how badly the man was suffering.

There is a saying that says that every word and letters have there own important meanings. In the book fish in a tree, Mr. Daniel wrote the word impossible on a paper. He told Ally to draw a line between the IM and possible. Dividing a word that has a negative meaning can actually change someone. The word impossible turns into I'm possible or possible. I would use I words wisely and help others not in a mean way, but in a helpful way. In the video, the blind man needed money. People gave him only a small amount of money. After the woman came and wrote the new message that changed everything. Words have there own meanings even the little words can change everybody.

Wow! This video was really inspiring! I realized that words have a huge effect on everything, even if they mean the same thing. I like how when the blind man asked the woman what she did to his sign, she said she changed the words, not the meaning, I think people felt really bad for him because he couldn’t see, and the sign made them feel sympathetic.

I think this video means that we have to use our words wisely or change the word around to have the same meaning, but different change. The woman in the video got down to the ground and changed the phrase. First, it was Im blind please give me money. Then, it changed to It is an beautiful day and I can't see it. It is kind of like show not tell because the woman changed to how he can't do things because he was blind. I the beginning, I thought the people were disrespectful because they were just tossing the money everywhere. This video means to me very lot because I sometimes use words in a nunkind way. being kind is not just words or how you say it, but it's how it comes from your heart. Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world, no matter what you look like.

You know it is real kindness when you go out of your way to help someone you don't even know. This lady barely knew the man but she knew that he needed help and went out of her way to help him. We need more people like her in the world, because at the end of the day, we are all gonna die, and might as well go out with a positive impact.

This video is very inspiring. Words can do so much, in a bad way and a good way. The phrase actions speak louder then words isn't always true. It always depends on what words you decide to say. This lady is so kind, just rephrasing his sign can make such a difference. But always make sure to use them in the correct way because you never know if what your saying is alright to say. We need more nice people like this. Small acts all sum up. Words are POWERFUL, and so is KINDNESS.

I think that the woman in this video was very sweet. She saw someone in need and helped. More importantly, she helped with a few words. This proves that just a few words can change everything. The blind man had a sign that was poorly written telling everyone that he was blind and needs help. He was only getting a few cents, but when the woman changed his sign to something readable and true, everyone started to pity the man more.
