It’s better to practice a little than talk a lot

Recently I realised that generally speaking people today seem to be big talkers rather than big doers. We are all about the talk and less about the walk. As a student you say you want to get your assignments done as soon as possible but because you don’t put it to practice, you find yourself stuck doing the work the night before the deadline in a panic trying to get it done on time.

We learn things over time and as they say “practice makes perfect”. When you think of practice you associate it with doing something, carrying out an action which links to the saying “actions speak louder than words”. People will remind you of what you said when you talk a lot but don’t practice it, but if you act upon your words you’ll reap the reward that comes from following through on your word.

People who talk a lot create a virtual picture of who they are. Those who put their words to practice show their personality through the things they do and not through the words they say. Every detail counts and even though you may have practiced a few things in life, what will you be remembered for? The big things you spoke about doing or the ones that you actually went out and did?

  1. Tarin it is so true about the assignments, I am seriously one of those students! But I am slowly starting to do more of "the walk" and less of "the talk"

  2. I think the way we should approach life is that it is a series of photographs not a film with audio. It only captures the things you do not what we said we where going to do
