Proverbs!-James Suttar
Proverb: Actions speak louder then words. People are more impressed with out sincerity if we act on out beliefs than if we merely talk about them.
Many say, “Actions speak louder then words.” But the question is do they really, how can this be proved? Some may agree while others disagree, so what is your opinion? In the world of today, you see many samples of the proverb “actions speak louder then words” but as the same time there’s many examples that prove otherwise. In the Following couple paragraphs, “actions speak louder then words” will be analyzed so that you can make your own personal conclusion to whether or not this proverb should be believed for.
“Actions speak louder then words” in many ways. Not only do your actions impress a certain someone, our actions can also symbolize an idea, an action, a thought, an emotion, or even all of the above at once. Many examples of this are people of today, whenever someone is talking, when do you ever see their hands not moving? Or if their hands aren’t moving, is what their saying really making the same impact as it would if their hands were moving showing their ideas. The reason one uses their hands is to show feeling and emotion to what they are saying. The (modern day persona) humans go mostly by visual content rather then just by words; many of us are visual learners meaning we have to see it in order to learn about it. We learn by visuals cause we’re lazy, many don’t want to admit it but it’s true. If you asked someone to explain something using numbers or balloons, they would pick balloons cause they would be scared there will some sort of mathematical master mind needed to explain. In the following the proverb will be explored into further more detail that will represent how life in general our actions speak louder then our words.
Throughout our lives we see that our actions do speak louder then our words. When you are out and about, something will capture your eye through are and imagery. If the choice was given between a word and a image or sign… It’s proven that many would much prefer and further more understand the common bench sign. First of all, I was on my way home on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) when something caught my eye. It wasn’t a word, wasn’t a person, it was a bench sign, what first caught my eye was the really big cute baby that was displayed right across the sign, but then I read what it said. It read, “you just proved bench signs work.” From that point on I believed that “Actions speak louder then words.” If it weren’t for the huge cute baby on the sign, my brain would have just ignored all the other signs that I passed which surrounded me. Secondly, when you are in love with someone and you want to show him or her your emotion you have for him or her, you don’t sit there for six hours explaining, you jump in there and give him or her a nice big wet one on the lips. Through physical contact, you represent many feelings that words most of the time can’t replace. Lastly, a great example is your communication through touch and action with your pet animal. Your pet can’t talk unless you have a parrot or some sort of fairy tale pet, which would be pretty cool, but highly unlikely, your pet will communicate with you through touch and action. When a cat for example is hungry, what does it do, it does say “yo, dude get me some food:” it enters the room, looks at you and do a meow cry, jump up and down, run to the kitchen, fly across the kitchen floor at a million miles a minute crashing into everything in front of it, and eventually stop at the food bowl, they do that to show you they want something thus showing you they are hungry, as they can’t speak
Anyone person can benefit from this belief of “Actions speak louder then words.” First of all, if you are ever looking for a way to represent feeling for someone and can’t why not let a rose do all the sweet talk for you? Hell why not even a box of Belgium chocolate? My point exactly. Secondly you or a friend could benefit from this; this is due to the fact that its true, words just can’t speak as loud as an action would. Actions are what make’s people do the sane or even insane things they do in life. Last of all, actions are the “in” thing right now; words are known to be cheesy, cowardly, or even just plain stupid. If a person was to explain something to someone else of the opposite or same sex, and couldn’t, and the words just weren’t arranged right coming out, how else could you communicate with that person. I bet a nice big painted picture would help your situation a lot. The proverb “actions speak louder then words” benefits many individuals in the corporate world, personal and public world.
In closing, there are obvious reasons why “actions speak louder then words.” Think of your own life and how many times you have been stuck in the most awkward situation where even the best joke in the world couldn’t get you out of the disaster you were bound to hit. In that situation, didn’t you just think to yourself, if I just “shut up for once” I wouldn’t be here right now. You could think that or you could find some sort of action whether it’s with the boss’ laptop (I don’t suggest that) or its with a pencil of the desk, you could escape that disaster. Also think of how many times you have started to speak and even though you don’t think its happening, your either walking back or fourth, or your hands are flying up and down as you talk, and or, your doing something like nodding, winking, twitching as you talk to represent your thoughts. The next time you are going somewhere, doing something, or talking, look at your hands as you talk, walk, or even jump, where are your hands?
