The proverb expresses the idea that studying a person’s actions gives you a better impression of their character than what they say. What you do is more important than what you say, because the things you do show your true intentions and feelings. And if we say that we will do something for people, then we should come through in acting out our promises. Otherwise, try to refrain from making empty promises, especially to children.

For instance, if you are always promising that you are willing to help out, but somehow you are always conveniently busy whenever anyone asks you for help, people might call you out that you are full of nonsense because your actions are saying different than the words you speak.

In life, just be yourself, there is no You. You are the outcome of hard work and effort. We may not have natural born talents, but that doesn’t define our destiny. The only person that you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday….yes the person you were yesterday.
Don’t stress yourself over failures in your life, neither should you brag over successes in life. We are born with choices, so let’s choose wisely.

Our lives are so precious and so valuable. As human beings we need to be there for each other, support one another, and care for each other in times of happiness and sorrow. By so doing we will achieve our dreams. We shouldn’t leave any room for anyone of us to say NO to LIFE. We get life as a free gift, let’s not abuse it.

So many times we say nasty words to people we care about without considering how they may feel. Our insensitive approach makes us blind to see the pain we cause others. What would be painful to us should in no way be done unto others. We should care about other people’s feelings because they hurt same as we do.

When we wake up in the morning we should be dermined to achieve something on that day and that particular day should have a meaning for us. Some people prepare a ‘to do list’ before they go to bed. The to do list is aimed at guiding their activities for that particular day so that the day is not wasted. So when they wake up they will be anxious to achieve what they did plan the night before. If they will follow the to do list, for sure, when they go to bed they will be satisfied with results of what they did during the day.

Hard work is key to our success. There are no miracles or shortcuts.

Some times we say things that are not true, we say them to please ourselves without thinking of the implications of those lies to ourselves and to others. Other times we say things that are cruel, not kind to others. Our words hurt others, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. Many times we find ourselves uttering words that are not necessary at all, keeping quiet would have been the best solution, but we don’t. We say all the lies, unkind words and unnecessary words because our mouths do not have these gatekeepers.

In life there are lots of ups and downs. We should never despair when we face hardships. We will never learn to be better if we are always having things the easy way. The best gold passes through hot furnace. There’s always something to learn from pain. Let’s face all challenges as lessons and stepping stones for improvement.
