Better expression leads to better thoughts?

Does having a better ability to express yourself changes how other people see you?

Before you say that the ability to express onself is irrelevant in determining a person's worth, think again. Would Martin Luther King, Jr. be as inspiring and well respected if not for his famous and captivating speeches which were crafted to become the epitome of expresson? Would Winston Churchill be as charasmatic and powerful if not his witty construction of words and his strong call for unity in WW2? I don't know.

Perhaps a better question would be, does words facilitate better thinking and ideas? I mean, if you've got a great idea, and you expressed it to others with such conviction, and you can see that they are all so convinced, would you be more motivated to explore deeper into your own ideas? I would think so. So are people who can express themselves better also think better?

When you think, do you think in words? I haven been able to realise that for myself because everytime i ask myself whether i think in words, i have already thought in words. It is just like trying to catch yourself breathing unnoticably. Haha.. seems like there's no way to catch myself not thinking in words, but i am really not sure if i do.
