Simplified meaning
People tend to remember actions more than words. Imagine a person who says they care about others but never helps anyone. Their words are quickly forgotten, but if they actually volunteer at a shelter, people remember their kindness and efforts. In history, we often recall those who made significant changes through their deeds, like how Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered for fighting for civil rights through his actions, not just his speeches. This idea suggests that what you do often speaks louder and has a longer-lasting impact than what you say. So, if you want to make a difference, focus on your actions. Show kindness and help others because these actions will leave a lasting memory.
