Today is the eve of Christmas Eve. Haha...I think many things happened over the past few weeks and months. And I learnt one thing from them.
The power of Words
Many ppl actually underestimated them but words actually have a huge impact. Like if my sister says "Not nice" when I go shopping with her, I wun buy the stuff I had in mind, even if I had liked it a lot. Or even if I had bought it, I wun think it as pretty as before.
I'm sure everyone have experienced the healing as well as the destructive effects of words. Like when you're sad, the right affirmative words from a friend can actually comfort you. Conversely, the wrong words spoken in a situation can make you feel even more sad or angry. Words can bring you down or take you up.
Stick and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. I wonder who's this fool who came up with this famous line. Take a look at the NKF saga. It was a really small matter actually. A journalist reporting about NKF ppl taking first class flight and its grand furnishing in the NKF building.
I think its a small matter actually. If Mr Durai (former CEO of NKF) had explained clearly and nicely to the public why he had used the money this way, perhaps things would have been different. But he chose to do it the aggressive way; suing the journalist.
Maybe Mr. Durai had thought that NKF was a big organization which would never be threaten by a mere journalist. Funny how such a big organization with reputation can be brought down to its knees in the space of one month.
This is the power with words.
I am not saying what NKF did was right. I quite understand the anger of the public. That we have so generously given and donated but there was no accountability for the money. The anger and the disappointment. That $600,000 is considered as peanuts. Maybe to such a big organization, $600,000 is really a small amount when they're dealing with millions. But to most of us, $600,000 is what we could not even earn in 20 years time.
I feel most sad for the patients of NKF. They are dependent on the organization. Dialysis is really expensive and even if the leaders of NKF had told untruths and no accountability in financial management. I think the fact remains that the NKF have touched many patients' lives in the last 20 years. The kidney patients are still dependent on NKF and its quite worrying to see so many donors canceling their donations. I hope that in their anger and disappointment, they have not forgotten their true intention of donating:
To help.
We should condemn and punish those who did wrong. Those who had betrayed the publics trust. But we should never forget the patients of NKF. It is not their fault that things turned out this way, but I think any consequences of the NKF saga would directly affect them.
The power of words. That it destroyed the trust that NKF had tried so hard to build over the last 20 years.
So my Christmas wish this year is that I would be able to use my words wisely. That I would say the right things at the right place and the right time.
