আন্ধার আর সুমসাম কুঠুরিতে একলা থাকলেই আমার খালি খালি নরক আর শয়তানের কথা মনে আহে। নরক যাওনের রাস্তাঘাটগুলা চিনা নাই, চিনাজানা থাকলে মাঝেমধ্যি আওন-যাওন যাইতো। পূজা-পাইলের দিনে তেহার-পরবে ঐহানে গিয়ে দুই একদিনের লাইগ্যা ঘুইর্যা আওন যাইতো। ... হয়তানের কথা হগল সময়ে মনে আহে, অর কথা ভাইব্যা-ভাইব্যা শরীল নিপাত করি, অথচো কোন কুলকিনারা পাই না। ক্যান জানি মনে হয়, হয়তানে আমার কাছে পিঠেই আছে। ...যারে দেহি তারেই জিগাই, ‘এখানে শ্রীযুক্ত বাবু শয়তান নামে কেউ থাকেন কি?

If I have to tell what I learned from Neuro Linguistic Programming then I will simply say these two things:1. I learned to make more empowering choices. No more confusion.2. Earlier words would often be the cause of my troubles and now they are the reason of all my blessings..

Quote
We cannot control the way people interpret our ideas or thoughts, but we can control the words and tones we choose to convey them. Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words. One wrong word, or misinterpreted word, can change the meaning of an entire sentence - and even start a war. And one right word, or one kind word, can grant you the heavens and open doors.

It seems that in almost all societies, the attitudes that people have to language change is basically the same. People everywhere tend to say that the older form of a language is in some sense 'better' than the form that is being used today.
