Word to the Wise: Nonpareil

Something that’s “nonpareil” (non-puh-REL) – from the French – has no equal.

Example (as used by Simon Barnes in The [London] Times): “Steve Redgrave won his third gold medal at his third successive Olympic Games and we hymned the man as if he were the greatest athlete we had ever seen: a superman, a nonpareil, a demigod walking the earth.”

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]

Testimonials

  • “Thank you for another perspective!”

    Michael,

    You have added another dimension to wealth! Women’s magazines with their glossy ads and decorating themes evoke some of the feelings you speak of; however, they are just photos of that lifestyle at best. We look at and enjoy them, but we don’t adapt that lifestyle and the majority of us never will.

    Your article may change that if we take your recommendations seriously. I see great potential in this statement: “The feeling of wealth for me now has three elements: tranquility, safety, and emotional or intellectual enrichment.”

    I will make every effort to incorporate the three elements into my daily life. Thank you for another perspective!

    Penny Davies
