Your Deeds Speak Louder Than Your Words

A thousand words will not leave so deep an

impression as one deed.”

Henrik Ibsen, 19th century Norwegian Playwright

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your deeds speak louder than your words

 

You can talk up a storm . . . . but it’s your deeds speak louder than your words.

 

When you make a commitment to people they will expect you to keep your word . . . . and honor your commitment.  You will be judged by the fact that you either have kept your word . . . . or you did not.

 

Once you set the expectation for an action by giving your word . . . . people will expect you to keep your word . . . . Do what you said you would do. They expect

action . . . . and will not except excuses as an option.

 

Once you give your word . . . . it becomes a promise.

 

No matter what station you hold in life you will be held . . . . to the standard of keeping your word.

 

Over a lifetime people will judge you . . . . by your deeds being in harmony with your words.

 

Your Deeds speak louder than your words. Your life . . . . and success will be measured . . . . by what you have done . . . . not by what you said.

Good Morning Lou - unfortunately for some people talk is cheap.  That way is so importannt to under promise.  People expect you to keep your word.
