    I strongly believe that actions speak louder than words. Because when a person do something‚ everybody who is around will judge the results of the action and will conect the action to the person who did it.

    intentions‚ but others by their actions; therefore‚ we only see through the lens of what we are trying to do‚ and not through the lens of what we actually do. We avoid the unpleasantness of failure by retreating to our so-called good intentions even though actions speak louder than words.
