A for Action

I am not going to talk about action movies .I am going to talk about the phrase "Action speak louder than words".
This is beautifully explained in the poem writen below which most of us would have read.
"I love you, Mother, said little John; Then, forgetting his work, his cap went on. And he was off to the garden swing, Leaving his mother the wood to bring. "I love you, Mother, said rosy Nell, "I love you better than tongue can tell." Then she teased and pouted full half the day. Till her mother was glad when she went to play. I love you, Mother," said little Fan, "To-day I'll help you all that I can; How glad I am that school doesn't keep!" So she rocked the babe till he fell asleep. Then stepping softly, she took the broom, And swept the floor, and dusted the room. Busy and happy all day was she; Helpful and happy as a child could be. "I love you, Mother," again they said, Three little children going to bed. How do you think that mother guessed Which of them really loved her best?

There is also , another saying "Action should not contradict the words"
That means  you said something and did something else.
You said something and did better than that .Thats alright .
But if you said something and did worse than that .Thats a problem

A very clever guy says "Who needs action when you have got words".

So ,
Think before you act and and you are not guilty until you have acted out .
Act is progress.
You are not a bad person for what you think but what you do.
