Though one cannot always determine immediately after executing a specific action whether it was a success, a failure, or an error, time usually answers that question. Living error-free demands greater concentration and skill, is advantageous and well worth it.

Word-Drop
Expressing a nonessential or unnecessary word in an expression to produce an emotional reaction and mental and physical actions. Comparable to name-dropping.

It was sufficient for the hotel's manager to tell the customer that they "will do everything they can to make her stay as enjoyable as possible." However, before saying "as possible" he said "and stress-free," thereby inserting the notion of "stress" into their brains, which made their brains automatically replay memories of the times they had felt "stress." Though the word "free" after the word "stress" always attempts to create the illusion that it eviscerates all "stress", his word-drop made her presence at the hotel less enjoyable than "as possible." Her intuition told her to find a different hotel and she canceled her reservation. Said differently, pissed-off that the stupid clerk reminded her that "stress" exists, she realized she would be better of finding a different hotel to escape more stupidity she foresaw approaching.

Healing oneself by working with words and letting them order and clarify the way one feels, thinks, and acts.
After a major television network offered to interview me, but then cancel the interview, lowered my self-concept, confused me, made me feel powerless—even helpless, but not hopeless.
Soon after I started to edit the index of a book I'm writing, working with words made me feel increasingly better.
Working with words balanced my emotions and allowed me to feel, think, and act correctly again. I call that word therapy.

The way interacting with younger people—more so children—automatically and almost always unknowingly transmit their youth to older people.
Though I taught high school and college, I love teaching second graders so much because they are tender and interacting with them makes me feel so hopeful. I call interacting with younger people—specially children—youth transmission.

All the conveniences Americans have at their disposal makes them undermove. To not walk—which is what our bodies are designed to do a lot of—I used to drive three blocks to the grocery store. No wonder so many people wind up getting knee surgery. Undermoving atrophies muscles.
