HOW TO BECOME RICH WITH WORDS
The competition is small, the rewards are great.
Word development stops for most people when they leave school. This need not be. There is a book that can help you read, write, talk and think your way to success with words.
PERHAPS you have admired him before: the person who has a way with words, who commands attention, who finds success. Invariably he will call up the right word to make a point, win an argument, turn an audience in his favor. He is one of the millionaires of language.
Mark Twain said it best: "The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug" When you need it, the right word perfectly placed can help you:
• Hold your own in any conversation
• Compose letters with flair and style
• Send off a powerful memo or report
• Say and write exactly what you mean
• Find new success with words, with your career
