One of Life's Greatest Sins: Talking instead of Doing!

"A meowing cat catches no mice" - Yiddish Proverd

I do so love Yiddish Proverbs.  They catch the most importannt of concepts and present them  in a durect, distinct way.  And this one is no different.  It catches and tries to correct on of our societies greatest problems, which is that people talk a good game, but fall flat when it come to action.  Talk, Talk, Talk, sometimes I find that people spend more time talking about what they want to do than actually doing it!

They seem to need constant reassuranc e, reassurance that they are on the right track, reassurance, reassurance, reassurance.  People just doin't DO any more, they think, they worry, and they beg for reassurance before they ever bother shifting the car to drive.

Thisis something I have a real problem with.  My moto, "Do something, ANYTHING!" point to the fact that I am at the other extreme, why talk about it when you could be doing something aboiut it.  Of course this means I deal with something the talkers know nothing about: UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.  You see, I sometimes jump into action before really thinking about what I am about to do, and this leads to consequences that the talkers never have toi deal with.

For many they seem to find it easier to talk than to take the first step, and for these people I challange them to:

Make sure they are actually doing things, not just talking about them!
