Actions Speak Louder Than Words

  “A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going .” I assume that you are familiar with William Penn’s remark. The watch is crucial for every individual, because it tells the time by moving constantly. It is obvious that a man is of little value if he fail to act like a watch.

  William Penn’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. We can not emphasize the importance of actions too much. Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point. How could the “foolish old man” who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieve his dream without taking constant actions ?

  From my perspective , at no time should we ignore the value of actions. Accordingly, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. “actions speak louder than words.” A philosopher also once said. (205 words)

  参考译文:

  威廉.佩恩(英国海军上将)曾说:“一个人的价值,就好比手表,是由他不断的行动来决定的。”手表对于每个人都很重要,因为它通过一刻不停的移动来告诉人们时间。很明显,一个人如果不想手表那样的行动,也就价值甚微了。

  威廉.佩恩的话目的在于告诉我们采取行动的重要性。我们再怎么强调行动的重要性也不为过。行动能使我们更顺利地实现目标、更快速地实现梦想。我们采取的行动越多,我们就越能积累经验、掌握技巧并且接近目标。为了进一步证明行动的重要性,我想以一个著名的中国寓言故事做为例子:梦想移走门前大山的愚公,如果不采取持续的行动,怎么能实现他这个巨大的梦想呢?

  在我们看来,任何时候我们都不应该忽视行动的价值。因此,我们不仅应该拥有梦想,还需要采取行动去实现。一位哲学家也曾经说过“行胜于言”。
