YES, YES and again YES. It is a known FACT, by everyone and anyone who has a little bit of intelligence or half a brain that ACTIONS definitely speak louder than words!
This statement is a Zen Proverb that belongs to Muso Kokushi, a Japanese Zen Master, Calligrapher and Poet. This Zen master dreamt that he was told to protect a portrait of Dumara Daishi and thereafter knew that Zen was his destiny. He proceeded to study Zen at a temple. After which he proceeded to become famous.
This life story of Muso Kokushi “speaks” of the statement he makes. He did not talk too much about his dream of becoming this Zen Master, but he went out and did it!
Kokushi’s statement is relevant to various aspects of daily life. It can also be tied in with numerous other sayings and idioms which all come down to the same thing: DO MORE AND SAY LESS!
People so often say things, usually to impress others and prove you are better than them. But
90% of the time, these words cannot be backed by your actions. If you want people to believe what you say (your words) you should “speak” with your actions.
What is the use of saying that smoking is unhealthy and leads to an early, slow and painful death, but then these marketers smoke up to thirty (or even 40??!!) cigarettes per day. How is this message then supposed to be taken serious by the various audiences???
Practice what you preach, this is the only way what you do and say will be respected and trusted.
