Having an idea or opinion in your head is beautiful. However, being able to transfer that idea or express your opinion in its utmost form is where the problem lies.
Oftentimes, your words lose their potency because of your choice of words. Some words are overly used that they don't exude power anymore and " I think" is one of them.
When you begin a sentence with "I think", it decreases the validity of that sentence. in other words, you are simply telling your audience that you aren't sure of your thoughts.Instead of employing " I think", kindly employ the following words when expressing your opinions👇
📍In my opinion...
📍As far as I am concerned...
📍I believe that...
📍It is my view...
📍I honestly believe that...
📍From my point of view...
📍To my way of thinking...
📍My thoughts on the matter are...
📍To me...
It can become tedious repeating the same phrase over and over again. However, this problem can be eliminated by employing one of the many alternatives for this phrase.
