Simplified meaning
Doing good deeds is more important than just thinking about doing them. Imagine someone sees a person in need but only thinks, "I should help," and then walks away. Nobody would remember them because they didn't actually help. But if they stop, lend a hand, and make a difference, people will remember their kindness and actions. Like in history, people celebrate those who take action, not just who have good thoughts. So, to make a real impact, act on your good intentions and help others whenever you can.
