 ordWealth
is designed for those who enjoy and appreciate the importance of
learning new words. It is designed for those who know that only by
increasing one’s vocabulary can we increase our command of English and
proportionately our ability to communicate. This site is both for
people whose native tongue is English as well as those who are
studying English as a second language because they realize that in
this age – to not be able to speak English when the entire world of
business has chosen it as its de facto communication 'standard' –
is to needlessly create for ourselves possibly insurmountable
roadblocks to success.In other words, WordWealth is for
word-lovers! People who want to upsize and refine their effective and
permanent word powers. Our goal will be to focus on word selections
for you that produce a creative learning experience.
Why do we name this site 'WordWealth'? Because WordWealth means
having command of words that can distinguish you from poor
communicators; powerful words can help bring you the
wealth you seek. Wealth
can be defined as many different things; a good career
opportunity, the pride of owning beautiful possessions, or essentially anything that has utility and is capable of being
appropriated or exchanged.
Knowing which words to use and how to use them is key to getting the
most from one's mind. Anyone who can communicate effectively and
easily with poise is certainly going be more successful than someone
who treats the art of communication with little respect or expectation. A
strong
vocabulary is the most noticeable performance characteristic shared by
executives and successful professionals.
The words we use, how we pronounce them and how we deliver them
cause people to form lasting, often unchangeable, perceptions of us
within seconds of our opening our mouths to speak—usually within ten
seconds. Many people worry terribly about their grooming
and fancy clothes, but never realize that it is far more likely that
the words tumbling out of their mouths are the
basis upon which they are being judged. Certainly, being well groomed is
important, but being able to express yourself with a well-chosen
word that accurately relates to the context of a conversation and
reveals the excellence of your mind will prove far more interesting to
truly intelligent individuals.
You will find that the greater command of words that WordWealth
fosters will also help you in preparing for your SAT and TOEFL test.
In order to achieve word mastery, we employ wide ranging
reference sources taking into account how people learn and remember.
If a word is worth learning, it's worth re-exploring it until you
get it Got it?
Our word lists will continually expand over time
yielding more cross-references that will suggest ways a word can be
used. Therefore, it is important to review our selections frequently.
The more often you see words you’ve learned, the easier it will be to
remember them. Repetition with assiduous reading is a mother of
learning.
We would like you, your families and friends or associates to get
involved. If you find a new word that we (and everyone who is a word
lover should know), please send it to us. We strongly encourage you to
give us
feedback. The more we share the better informed we will all
be.
