  • In my desire to be more precise in my use of the English language, I often criticize the trite phrases that people use on one another. For example, I am critical of the term "potential" when it is utilized to describe a person. Usually, it is used as, "(Insert name here) has so much potential." Personally, I believe that everyone has the potential. Everyone has the potential to be good or bad. Everyone has the potential to do anything that they want. It takes one person or one decision to unlock that potential and turn it into a more kinetic energy.
