CANNOT

Today I wrote about the meaning of the word "cannot"

Cannot

Billions of people live in this world. They have many relationships in their lives including relationships between friends, co-workers, and family members. In addition, people have conversations within these relationships; also, people use the word “cannot” many times. However, people do not know what the meaning of “cannot” is and they misuse it.
First, people use the word “cannot” incorrectly. If people really think about it, soon they may realize they use wrong word. For example, people say, “I can’t do it.” It means they are not able to do it; in other words, they are not capable of. Nevertheless, people use the word “cannot” even when they are able to do it. They say that they cannot do it not because of lack of the capability, but because they do not try. Actually, people can do but just do not try.
Second, people do not think deeply. According to the New Bury Dictionary, “cannot,” means to be unable to do something. In spite of the fact that the dictionary gives absolute definition for the word “cannot,” people use the word wrongly because they do not like to think. There is a reason why people do not take to think. In these days, technology is very developed, especially, the Internet. High technology helps people to live their lives more convenient. On the other hand, it makes people not to think. All they have to do is go to website and type whatever they want and press enter. People want to live their lives more convenient and easier, but the desire makes them fools. Thus, people cannot distinguish difference between “cannot” and do not try. Not thinking deeply and carefully is one of the reasons why people use the word “cannot” in the wrong way.
Lastly, people do not know about themselves exactly. People do not know for sure how much they can do, their capabilities, and their limitations. For example, believe or not, some people say human only use 10% of brain capacity. Moreover, people can find these kinds of hypothesis on the Internet: "They say you only use 10% of it." (Advertisement for database software, 1999): "You only use 11% of its potential." (Advertisement for digital TV, 1999). It proves that there is no limitation for people. However, people easily say, “I can’t do it” because they do not know certainly about themselves.
In conclusion, many people misuse the word “cannot.” The reasons why people misuse the word are various. Some people may do not know correct meaning of “cannot.” Some may do not think deeply, and some may do not know themselves. People should use correctly the word “cannot” because there are so many things people can do even though they think they cannot. Before saying, “I cannot do it,” people should try to do the best. After trying, although it does not work, it does not matter because at least they tried. Therefore, people should use the word “cannot” properly and correctly.
