your actions ultimately speak louder than words. people pay more attention to what others do than what they say.
professor Albert Mehrahian, say: an expert in nonverbal communication, says our spoken messages comprise three elements: verbal, the words we use to express our ideas: vocal, how we sound; and visual, what people see. Mehrabian found that visual and vocal components account for a whopping 93% of believability. The verbal component was a paltry 7%!
Also Ann Lawrence, says:
" Failing to walk our talk is "one of the biggest problems we face as humans "
Put your comment for that statements.

You are correct that actions do speak louder than words. I can say for example taht my sister in law had just started coming around last easter and now she wont talk to any of her husbands family again and she has no family in town at all, not sure what they do in there time together but for them i guess its waht they want.
She went ahead and made a facebook a year ago when we were all talking and getting along and none of us know what made her change her ways at all, well she went ahead and deleted all of us after christmas, kinda weird and not sure why she would do this and now her actions are speaking louder than words because she has no words to go behind it becasue neither her or my brother are talking to us and my brother actually said tough S***. I guess its how they want to live there life. But to me i dont really care and dont need them im happy the way my life is going anyways.

I can not find an explanation for this strange thing. One of you must recognize the reason for this estrangement.

That is right. And as a clear example, let us say what should be happened in our family and children. Our instruction must be not by says and orders to our kids, we should be as a role models. We must not lie if we are to teach our children honesty.

That is very true. Talk is in fact cheap. Words cost absolutely nothing. Anyone with an ability to speak is going to be able to say many loud, boastful things about what they might be able to do. A lot of the times, it is no different than the hot air that might be found within a balloon. A lot of people are going to have a boisterous level of words but not do much.
However your actions, especially when they back up said words, are going to have a lot more meaning and a lot more purpose. A lot of people have been trained to block certain words and claims right out of their mind. When they see an action, it is going to really just slap them right in the face and bring them right down to reality that perhaps this person is the real deal. Of course actions can speak good for a person and bad for a person as well.

Talk is very easy, and everyone can do without effort, But does not gain any result.
We must translate our words into action. Actions of a person, not his words that glorify his future.

I would rather express my concept or idea in action rather than in long verbal words, which ultimately might be vain in words. I would like people to see how much I can do in action, rather than exaggerating how good I am. That is most people would do, bluffing or exaggerating their ability. Ultimately, we hope that we can do more than just talk.

Yes that is correct. By the way there is another say, " Not a boy who said my father was, but the boy who said I'm here". Do what you want to say,I will do such and such.

I completely agree with you now. After reading this i have realized what i am doing.
In most cases i have been thinking of why i had been with such failures instead of being a hard worker. Now i understood my problem. Though this is commonly heard i have never noticed this. My problem is that i used to give importance to my words and grammar rather than my posture and expression. May be i was trying to be so good and felt angry that i was always been rejected. May be i will have to change towards showing up my actions rather than concentrating on my words which are already good. Thanks for starting this discussion which may help my future.
