How to pick a good word of the day?

A good word of the day…

• IS related to the theme. If you don’t know what the theme is, ask the Toastmaster of the Day. For example, if the theme is superheroes, you might pick the word “temerity” because you think that would work well for superheroes
• is NOT known by everyone in the room. Using “gold” or “courage” isn’t the best word of the day. It still challenges people to think on their feet and modify what they say, but it’s not teaching anyone.
• is NOT extremely unusual. If nobody knows what the word means, then it’s hard to use in conversation
• is NOT an extremely specific word. “Chutzpah” can be used in almost any situation and is a good word. “Echinacea,” on the other hand, is not going to come up in a business memo anytime soon. You want words that the club can start using immediately.
• IS a word many people recognize or have vague awareness of, but do not use often. The goal is for the club to improve the way they speak and write.

Another tip: adjectives are usually easier to use than other parts of speech. If a word comes in multiple forms, try to mention that fact at least once.

Make sure everyone can see the word of the day AND its definition–and if possible, pronunciation–throughout the meeting. It’s rare, but if you can position it where the speaker can see it too, that can help to remind them when they’re at the lectern.

Here are good sites to find Words of the Day. Just remember, pick out a good one, not just the first one that comes along.

In yoga class, often the teacher will ask you to “set your intention” for practice. In my first year of taking yoga class, this request would stump me. What is my intention for today’s class? Hmmm.

As time went on and I became more familiar with the poses and the concept of yoga, and when asked to set my intention, words would pop into my head.

With that one word, I could focus my energy and get through a difficult or challenging practice.

Choose Your Word For the day to cope with stress

So, why not use that habit on a daily basis?  Recently, I decided to choose a word for my day, to see if it was as beneficial as it is on the yoga mat. So far, I love it. It works to help me cope with unexpected events or even daily nuisances, like when the guy standing behind me in line at the coffee shop, warned me not to eat any carbs. Instead of turning and swatting him, I ignored him. Patience is the word that comes to mind.

I guess that’s what yoga is all about taking what we learn on the mat and applying it to our daily life.

I want to share my favorite, go-to words that have helped me in yoga practice and with my life’s challenges. You can use these words, too or share in the comments what your word for the day may be.

My Words

In order of repetitive use, here are my go-to words for yoga practice, that I apply to my day;

STRENGTH

-stength to take whatever comes

-physical and mental strength to persevere, go on, accomplish goals

-when I used this word as my intention in yoga class, I was able to do a headstand (something I had been afraid of), it was against the wall, however I used my core muscles to slowly lift each leg until I was able to fully control my body and hold the pose without the wall to stabilize me

-I had never felt physically stronger and I reminded myself right there, if I could do that, what else could I do that I was afraid of?

P O W E R 

-acknowledge my own power

-I can influence others, I can be convincing and ‘fake it til I make it’ with my powers and so can you

-often we underestimate our power

L  o   v   e

-sending it out

-receiving it

-being vulnerable allows us to receive the love we need

c  r   e   a     t     E

-focus on my intuition

-try to see things in a different way

-find a different way to do things

P   a   t   i   e   n   c   e…..

-this too, shall pass

-all things come to an end

-find something to do while you wait

Presence

-be present in the moment

-listen to the music playing (in class for example) and hear each instrument

-notice details

-acknowledge feelings and let them go

G R A T E F U L

-think of all the good things you have right this minute, and know you are blessed –I tell myself this regularly

-I am grateful at the end of each practice, for my health and the fact that I can participate in yoga and also see improvements in my physical abilities

W  O  R  T  H  Y

-I am worthy of the good things and people that come into my life

-I offer value to the world

-I deserve this

Interestingly, these words that ‘popped’ into my head during yoga practice are often found on my blog. So, I guess it’s no surprise that they are my favorite words.

It’s a good word.  Seek.

It’s a double-first cousin of another good word. Search.

Seek. Search. Sought. Strive. Hunt for.

It’s a word with a sense of passion . . . maybe even a sense of desperation.

It’s different from looking.

Looking can be a relaxed word.

Seeking has an intensity to it.

Similar words from a thesaurus bear this out.   Pursue. Strive. Go after.

It pictures a quest.

My life verse contains the word seek.   “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness

and all these things shall be added unto you.” 1

I think of how many rock songs have a seeker mentality and theme.

Whether it’s Skynyrd (“Searching”) or U2 (“I Still Haven’t Found”). The list goes on and on.

It’s a good Ramadan word.

Friday was the final holy day for the Muslim observance of Ramadan.

There was an air of searching in our city.

The mosques were full.

The prayer calls (on the dreaded loudspeakers next to our house) were longer and louder.

You could feel the intensity.

The seeking.

The searching.

I’ve grown to love our Muslim friends and neighbors.

They’ve shown us kindness and hospitality.

I’ve come to realize they’re searching.

Seeking peace. Forgiveness.

Meaning in this life that can have an extra layer of African craziness.

I’m seeking to introduce them to my personal answer of searching.

His name is Jesus.

They view him as a prophet.

I believe (another strong word) he is the Son of God.

Who lives forever.

Who has the power to forgive sins.

I share a story of Jesus healing a paralytic man with an opening statement of , “Son, your sins

are forgiven.”

My life verse are Jesus’ very words.  Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.

My simple prayer is that those seeking may find their answer in the one who said, ‘I am the way,

the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father but by me.”2

I can testify that in over forty years of following him as my Saviour, Guide, and Lord, He has proven

himself trustworthy.

Faithful.

He is worth seeking.

Seeking,

Iles

Have you ever stopped to consider the life span of a Word of the Day? Does it last until the end of your meeting before it is forgotten? Does it last until the end of Table Topics®? Or does it last only as long as it takes to announce what it is?

Shouldn’t it have a life after the meeting ends?

In theory, we select a Word of the Day to expand our vocabulary. More times than not, at least in my observation, it is merely something we do because we always have. All too often, it is not even used by anyone.

Why not? One reason is that it may not be a priority for the club. Some clubs require using it to win Best Table Topics Speaker. Others just want the word to be used and the use reported on, but they don’t really care if you do or don’t. It’s just there.

Personally, I usually forget to use the Word of the Day. I remember it only when the grammarian gives the report at the end of the meeting.

The word also might be ignored because it’s not easy to use in a sentence. In one of my first meetings, the Word of the Day was garbology, the study of an ancient culture by the study of its garbage dump. I did use it, although it was a stretch. Granted, after all those years, I still remember it, but I can assure you I don’t use it in everyday conversation—or any other conversation, for that matter.

What, then, makes for a good Word of the Day?

I suggest the word should stretch our vocabulary. But stretch it how? If you select a fancy word like acidulate, asseveration, or contumelious, would anyone use it? Probably not. But if they did, they would most likely butcher the pronunciation. Does anyone really learn a word they can’t pronounce? I suspect not.

The words listed in the above paragraph are not easy to say. Better to choose a word that is easy to say and whose meaning is easy to understand. And make it a word that has a high probability of being used in the outside world but is not necessarily common.

I find it best to select an adjective. It can frequently be applied in several situations. A verb can also be used. A noun, on the other hand, can often be so specific that it has limited use.

Where, then, do you get ideas for
the Word of the Day? One place is www.dictionary.com . It has a Word of the Day right on its homepage. Other dictionary websites may help as well.

I do a lot of reading. When I discover an interesting word or one I don’t know, I type it into a document on my computer. I then look up the word in the dictionary, logging its definition next to its listing. I have well over 1,000 words on my list. When I am responsible for the Word of the Day, I merely go and select one from there.

But how to make that word last for more than a fleeting moment? Perhaps we can issue a reminder during the club meeting of the word used in the previous two meetings. The grammarian can count and report the use of any/all three words at the end of the meeting. That might develop a habit of usage.

Granted, some words aren’t going to gain traction regardless of how many times you mention them. Garbology might be one of them. Surprising, I know! When that happens, make a note of it and don’t use words like that in the future. Or maybe if a word is not well used, the grammarian can ask the club why not. That could get members thinking about what makes a great word.

And I don’t remember ever hearing a General Evaluator comment on the effectiveness of the Word of the Day. Shouldn’t it at least get honorable—or dishonorable—mention?

I firmly believe that the Word of the Day can be a much more valuable part of the meeting than it is right now. Let’s make that happen.

Thought for the Day: 13 April 2023

“There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting.”
― Hope Hicks, Motivational Quotes

The real reason behind success is hard work – giving your best efforts and taking right actions along with never giving up attitude, self-belief and guts to fight for what you believe.

Those who simply wait and watch for opportunities, lack confidence and give up easily make less progress in life.

Hard work is the ultimate price that anyone has to pay for success. Discover your potential, develop knowledge and skills and put maximum effort.

Remember, do hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting.

“Success isn’t always about ‘greatness’. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.”
― Dwayne Johnson, Success Quotes

Consistency is the habit that leads to accomplishment of greater goals. To achieve success and live a life of fulfillment, it’s important to make consistent efforts in our work.

Try to achieve small goals steadily before jumping into bigger targets. Our constant efforts will lead to success followed by greatness.

Success is not only about things, status or money, but the impacts we leave in society; with consistency in our work, we achieve all these greatly.

Thought for the Day: 11 April 2023

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Motivational Quotes

Ambition is a strong desire that drives you towards your goals. Without it, one finds no purpose to start anything in life. Without starting work, one accomplishes nothing.

Everyone must have ambition to stay motivated and keep going in life – ambition to work, together with self-belief and determination.

There is always a prize for the work you do. What matters is how much hard work and effort you are willing to put in.

Remember, the prize will not be sent to you, you have to do hard work to win it.

Thought for the Day: 10 April 2023

“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.”
― Simon Sinek, Motivational Quotes

Simple yet sounds interesting, doesn’t it? But how aware are we about this?

It’s stressful if you are only working hard for something, but without putting your heart and mind into it.

Contrary to it, working on something we love is a wonderful feeling. We are inspired to go further and do our best. Being passionate about something we do gives greater fulfillment in life.

So, when choosing a profession or career, follow your passion; you will be successful in life.

Thought for the Day: 9 April 2023

“Never be a prisoner of your past. It was just a lesson, not a life sentence.”
― Unknown, Life Quotes

Stop wasting your precious time on repenting of wrong deeds committed in the past. Do not let your past memories hunt the present and cripple the future.

Instead take lessons from the past and move forward to fulfill your purpose at present. Make sure you learn from your mistakes and live fully in the present moments.

Never get stuck with the past. Set yourself free and live life to the fullest.

“Never stop trying. Never stop believing. Never give up. Your day will come.”
― Mandy Hale, Motivational Quotes

Life is full of hardships and struggles to test your resilience and integrity.

Never be afraid to face the challenges because they are meant to make you stronger than before.

Never stop trying just because it did not work the way you wanted.

Never stop believing because your belief is the key to unlock the door to success.

If we believe that we can and do not give up, one day we are certain to hit the point we had been trying for a long time.

Thought for the Day: 7 April 2023

“Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much.”
― William D. Hoard, Happiness Quotes

Happiness is something within us – in our thinking and consciousness of our mind. Our thoughts and perception towards life situations make us either happy or miserable.

A rich person in spite of having every luxurious thing and good position in society may still be unhappy. On the other hand, a man having less may still be happy to manage food twice a day for his family.

Happiness is in our point of view. Change the way you look at things you have and what you do. Feel blessed for every little thing in life.

“The Positive Thinker sees the Invisible, feels the Intangible, and achieves the Impossible.”
― Winston Churchill, Positivity Quotes

Optimism is the faith that leads to greater accomplishments. Without it, everything seems impossible.

Positive thinkers have the confidence and zeal to make the journey to success an easier ride while negative thinkers only complicate things.

Positive thinkers have the vision to view the life challenges from different angles and are never afraid of real changes. Because of this art, they have the ability to perceive good things and opportunities even out of the worst.

Their mind being full of enthusiasm and good vibes, they are calm, happy and energetic from inside and out. Their positive mindset and determination leads them to achieve even the impossible.

How great would it be if we were like – The Positive Thinker sees the Invisible, feels the Intangible, and achieves the Impossible!

Thought for the Day: 5 April 2023

“Hard times don’t create Heroes. It is during the hard times when the ‘Hero’ within us is revealed.”
― Bob Riley, Inspirational Quotes

A hero is not always born a Hero. Family, cultural values, education and circumstances shape an individual as a hero.

Some traits and qualities like courage, patience and willingness to endure oneself for the sake of others develop as we grow.

The traits to be a hero may be present inside everyone. But only the one who is determined and courageous enough to go any length and become the voice of the downtrodden becomes a real hero. He becomes a saviour of people and rises against social injustice irrespective of all threats.

A hero has no selfish motive but to volunteer, to dedicate, to help people and make a difference.

You are a hero within yourself; wake it up and be willing to make a better world for everyone.

Thought for the Day: 4 April 2023

“Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.”
― William J. H. Boetcker, Motivational Quotes

Don’t think too much about what others are doing, who does not like you or who has achieved more. Such thoughts create unnecessary tension leaving negative impacts in our daily life.

You know what is best for you. What is best for others may not be good for you. Also it’s not possible to please everyone.

Focus on learning new techniques, ideas or things that can enhance your performance. If one concentrates on improving himself in all the ways possible, he is sure to achieve excellence.

Break your own records. Do not compare yourself to others’ achievements. See yourself as a unique individual; stay motivated and try to make a better version of yourself everyday.

Thought for the Day: 3 April 2023

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
― Walt Disney, Motivational Quotes

The more we talk, the less we get work done. If our creative time and mind is wasted in talking only, when will we start doing things? And how can anyone expect things to get done in time?

Talking is okay when it is an action approach and fruitful. Discuss, take ideas from experienced people, listen to your heart and come to a decision before doing things.

Contrary, if one talks only for the sake of talking, then he can neither focus on goal accomplishments nor expect to move further in life.

Talk is talk; you must work to accomplish things. As said rightly – Action speaks louder than words; better to shut up when no need and commit to your work.

Thought for the Day: 2 April 2023

“Dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.”
― Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Motivational Quotes

Dream is not only that which you see while sleeping; it is also something which you see from your mind and soul, that does not let you sleep until and unless you work to achieve it.

Dream is your strong passion for achieving something in life. It is the first step towards the success journey. 

It gives you a sense of purpose and guides you towards a particular destination. Those who work hard with purpose from their heart achieve their goals.

Think of rising higher. Follow dreams which you see with your open mind and want from the depth of your heart. 

Let dreams be your only thought, passion and goal while you are living in it.

Thought for the Day: 1 April 2023

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
― Marcel Proust, Positive Quotes

Let us be grateful to people who make our soul happy. Express deep gratitude for their presence in all the thick and thin of life.

Say ‘thank you’ to the ones who made you live again when you were lost.

Send a text message, give a hug and appreciate the little efforts they have done for you. Give a compliment to their work or activity.

Love, care and offer them with help. Remind yourself how they have made a difference in your life.

Being grateful shows your humbleness towards what they did for you. Surround yourself with the ones who care and motivate you.

It is for our own happiness and internal peace. Such people allow souls to bloom and help in living a better life.
