An English professor wrote the words: “A woman without her man is nothing” on the chalkboard & asked his students to punctuate it correctly. All of the males in the class wrote: “A woman, without her man, is nothing.” All the females in the class wrote: “A woman: without her, man is nothing.” Punctuation is powerful.

I don't know how many of you know this guy named Gaur Gopala Das. He is an inspirational speaker, and his voice is so soothing that it touches my heart.
One of the best speech of him was about the value of word "sorry". I am attaching the video down here.
