  SPEAKER_00: Water can be a metaphor for life or death.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: Ask anybody who's gotten sick from contaminated water or tried to avoid falling out of a canoe while they're going down a piranha-infested Amazon River.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: Those people will tell you that water can be deadly.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: But what about the person who's dying of thirst in the desert?
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: Or somebody who goes to the hospital because they're dehydrated?
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Ask that person and they will tell you that water can bring life.

  SPEAKER_00: You know, there's a wonderful scene near the end of the movie, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, one of my favorite movies of all time.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Indiana Jones passes three deadly tests to get to the Holy Grail at the end of the movie, and when he does, he fills it with water, then pours it on his father's gunshot wound so he doesn't die.

  SPEAKER_00: And this is a really beautiful analogy for the power of our words.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Our words can cut people down to the bone with sarcasm and criticism, and if you're like me, you've probably had more than your fair share of words that you have directed toward other people that have cut them down and made them feel bad.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Or on the flip side, our words can bring life through storytelling, personal experiences, or inspiring content.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: The choice is yours and the choice is mine.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: How are we going to use our words to bring life or bring death to people?

• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: As you use your words today, ask yourself, are they bringing life or are they bringing death?
