More than 60 years ago, former president of South Vietnam, Nguyen Van Thieu left a memorable quote on the Communists:

Don’t listen to what the Communists say, but look at what they do” – Nguyen Van Thieu

Well, it turns out to be quite true (!?) But the more interesting thing is it not only sounds true for the Communists but also for everyone in this world.

Don’t trust and believe in those who can only talk

I mean sometimes it’s great and necessary to be sweet and diplomatic, especially in life and love (sweet talkers win many girls’ hearts). But talking alone would lead you no where as far as doing. Promises are worthless if you don’t do anything. Spending a day talking is not as effective and convincing as spending a few hours getting things done.

It’s always easier to talk than do!

If you can’t do, don’t talk

I feel shameful for those who talk and boast about what they don’t do. In case of teachers, it’s even more shameful. Some teaching Entrepreneurship are actually cowards and risk avoiders. Some teaching Leadership can’t even lead their students. I don’t know why they can teach what they don’t do and believe. Or is it just their jobs to teach whatever they’re supposed to do? I hope they still have some integrity to realise this. Teachers can’t even do so what to expect from the students?

Of course as humans we prefer feelings (talking, sharing, etc.) than things (doing, buying, etc.). But the fact that we were all born with both mouths and hands. Why not use both instead of either one? Don’t over-think & hesitate. Just walk the talk & everything will be in order.
