Principle of the Day.....presented by Bleujay

Principle: the truth ✅

Excellent thought, my friend, and it is true that with a broader vocabulary we can come to understand each other much better with the different people in the world.

This is definitely a neat concept.

Some people have said they like the way I write. All I try to do here is articulate into words the conversation we would be having if we were in person. Having had a grammar teacher as a parent and being a sales guy by trade has developed certain skills when it comes to effectively communicating by text but I never really gave too much thought to it as anything but passably functional.

These days, in marketing, I try and not use plain words like 'great' or 'really' too much and I do find a vocabulary helps with that. The problem is that advertising and marketing is supposed to be aimed at a wider audience and using fancy words has the possibility of making someone feel stupid and tuning out. So, I have to keep the vocabulary at a lower common denominator while not sounding basic. A totally different skillset.

So, in person, you will probably get a mix of big boy words and profanity ;) Here, it is a constant battle between entertainingly flamboyant adjectives and conversational language that is accessible for the casual reader or even people who are not adept in english.

So, a greater vocabulary is a tool you use depending upon the job at hand but one everyone should have in their toolbox.

Wow! Love Yellow flowers 🤩

I love your daffodil painting.

I also love words. I enjoy it when I come across a new word, not new, but new to me that describes something better than the words I already know do. It's amazing how many words for things or happenings exist that you don't know about.

That’s so true! People with minimum education of four years like my gardener found it so difficult to tell me about her thoughts or to describe a situation to me. She had to invent new words by making funny sounds . So it becomes quite difficult to understand what she’s trying to communicate as she isn’t using standardized words.

i would say also knowledge, its extremely important

nice draw!

Excellent content as always, both for the photos, the small watercolor and mainly for what you have written!... Thanks for sharing @bleujay friend!... Sending blessings for you and ypur people around!...

Such beautiful daffodils, shining in bright yellow (which suits well to the green-yellow lemons)! And then your painting also looks so beautiful, very detailed, with wonderful colors @bleujay!

I could fall in love with those limes. So appealing!
Loved the photo (and especially the editing and colours).
Do you already have daffodils blooming?

'The greater your vocabulary, the greater your ability to think.'

The thesis is questionable. I'd rather disagree, a bit, with the formula. I'd put it different: with a greater vocabulary and more complex grammar, one can formulate more complex things and hold discussions at the highest level. But the ability to think is the same for everyone, but not everyone uses it to the fullest :)
On another hand - our mind and way of thinking are verbalized, without language there would be no thinking process at all... 🤓

We finally have 2 sunny days here!
Have a great day, and a slice of Hive !PIZZA

Your painting of the "'Daffodil in the Snow' is pretty beautiful. The Daffodil in the photos are also gorgeous in bright yellow color.

Your Principle makes me think well about myself and I'll try my best to follow your Principle accordingly. Many thanks for sharing.....

Have a wonderful day!

The wide angle shots captured the whole flowers quite well. Although there's a lot of details and richness to the portraits, I still prefer the wide angle ones.

@tipu curate

This principle is profound and for current times in our crazy world, it is even more pertinent. Imagine trying to figure out a moderately complex situation, but you can think only in terms of your limited vocabulary. I would think that a mind hobbled by vocabulary would be a very lonely place to dwell.

I love the daffodils in the photo and the watercolor is something I would expect to find in a French or Italian kitchen...it's gorgeous!

I am a man of few words, I admit it, however I have a good vocabulary, something that helps me in my work, this is acquired through reading, not necessarily in a book, reading helps to have excellent spelling etc.
I wish you a happy start to the week

Spring mojito, that's how I would call the floral arrangement that you @bleujay presented to us so expressively.

The sweetness of yellow flowers and the slight sourness of lemon and mint greenery in a vase... it looks very beautiful and delicious!

As for the principle, you are right, but sometimes there are exceptions, because the ability to think and be creative does not always depend on the gift of speech, for example, Moses was tongue-tied and could hardly convey his thoughts to other people :)
Have a blessed day!

Thank you for your visit and your vote dear friend!

Thank you for visiting my blog, yours is also very nice, a hug and blessings.

Oh dear how on earth did I miss this very thought provoking post, apologies @bleujay.

It is absolutely true that the greater one's grasp of a language including, but not exclusive to, vocabulary is profoundly important in the thought processes and expression of that person.

Words and vocabulary are the necessary basic requirements for language and if we can master our own language we can think anything we like. There is such a strong correlation between language and the thought process. I'm sure you have heard of Rene Descartes's famous piece of philosophy I think therefore I am but in order to think he must have used words in his own mind before he could share those famous words.

The icing on this post is absolutely delicious @bleujay. Glorious yellow daffodils and limes - what a beautiful combination and a very uplifting sight!

Fortunately with VIPS you still get your tip even if the post has already paid out!
