When I was in medical school, “Hear Word” was one phrase that was thrown around freely. In our final year class activity, a short play was done centring on “Hear Word”.
In fact, in medical school we created an “Inability to Hear Word” department and even went as far as assigning roles from Prof. Emeritus to patient on colleagues.
Hear Word is a wake-up call, a prompt meant to make you to pay attention, to listen up, to get focused and to receive sense.
I have also written many stories and articles and ended them with #hearword or #hearwordseries and this has stuck, like a stamp on an envelope.
Hear Word Wisdom for All, the first of the #hearwordseries contains short relatable stories and musings on relationship, marriage, love, sex, social media etiquette, health matters, youth matters, learning, unlearning and relearning and many more.
