Do What You Say
July 19th, 2008Talk is cheap, it is very easy to say you will do something but it is another story entirely to take action on your words. In a word full of mind numbing media detritus it is easy to fall prey to speaking without taking action. Almost all of us have been guilty of saying we will do something but not backing up our words with concrete action. To be any kind of success in life we need to either do what we say we will do or simply do what we have to do and say nothing at all. After all, our actions speak louder than words anyway.
Nothing is more frustrating than dealing with someone who does not do what they say they will do. If you tell someone you will call them, make sure you call them. If you say you will meet someone at a certain time, meet them as planned or if you cannot make it, let them know in advance that you cannot meet them at that time and arrange another more suitable time.
Growing up in
A gunna is a person who has little or no respect for themselves and invariably cannot be trusted. If someone has no respect for themselves it is easy to understand they will have little respect for others. A doer normally has immense self respect and is someone who can be trusted and relied upon in most cases.
It probably goes without saying that successful people only become successful by taking action to achieve their goals. You will never be a success in any area of your life if you say you will do something but then not back up your words with action. Action equals achievement in all languages. Words without action are only meaningless words.
Although there is certainly no need to tell others what you plan to do, since the only thing that matters anyway is your actions, if you do say you will do something you should always do exactly what you say. The fastest way to build a bad reputation is to not do what you say you will do. You will be seen as a person who cannot be trusted and most definitely a person who cannot be relied upon. People who do what they say on the other hand build a solid reputation as being reliable and trustworthy.
Who you are, how you feel about yourself and how society views you all come down to the actions you take in life not by the words you speak. Not everyone will always agree with each and every action you take but people will always respect you for doing what you say you will do. If you feel the need to say it make sure you do it.
