Definition: Influence or authority over something.
Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look,
At “Control,” a word that needs a little hook!
The dictionary gives you the gist, it’s true,
“Influence or authority – what does this mean for you?”
Let's break it down, with rhythm and with grace,
Control is about having a space.
It’s not just bossing around, demanding your way,
But steering things gently, day after day.
Think of a conductor leading an orchestra bright,
Guiding the musicians with skill and delight!
Or maybe a gardener, tending to their seed,
Managing the growth, fulfilling a need.
It's about managing choices, setting a course,
And keeping things steady, with thoughtful force.
Influence is
part
of it, a subtle hand,
Authority’s the power – you understand?
So control isn’t simply to command and decree,
But shaping outcomes for all eyes to see!
Does that make sense, my dears? Any questions you might pose?
