“Action is eloquence; the eyes of the ignorant are more learned than their ears.” – Shakespeare
The best way to communicate our thoughts with those around us is through our actions. It is good to say, “I love you” to a family member but those words can be reinforced if an act of love is done. For example, I may say, “I love you” to my children but if I do not express it in actions, they are just words. The best way for me to reinforce it is to invest time with them in what they enjoy doing like play a game of swords or play ball with them.
If I want to say to my co-workers that I am a team player. The best expression is to do what a good team player would do. I must listen to others, show respect to my teammates, do my assigned tasks, meet my deadlines, communicate and give constructive feedback, motivate a disheartened teammate, and to be on time during team meetings.
The best way to reinforce what we say is to act on them.
