Mahdi Chamran, the Chairman of the Islamic City Council of Tehran, recently spoke about the importance of words and their impact on people's mindset. He stated that the use of the word 'surrender' in any situation can have negative consequences, urging everyone to focus on victory and success instead.
The Impact of Words on Public Mindset
Chamran said: 'When we declare 'we will not surrender', we are actually evoking that very word in the audience's mind.' This phrase is particularly relevant in situations where society needs motivation and hope. He added: 'This word may cause some individuals to feel hopeless and consider surrendering. Therefore, my suggestion is to avoid using the word 'surrender' altogether.'

As one of the representatives of the people, he understands his responsibilities well and seeks to create a positive and hopeful atmosphere in society.
Chamran further noted that our words and language can have profound effects on the community's spirit and should be chosen carefully. He believes that instead of using words that may instill a sense of surrender and hopelessness in people, we should focus on words that convey strength and hope.
Finally, he urged the members of the Islamic City Council of Tehran and other officials to collaborate and focus on issues that help improve community conditions, avoiding any negligence regarding words and their impacts.
