Make progress instead of promises. You are not known by the
promises you make, but rather by the value you create.

Actions do indeed speak louder than words. Every positive,
productive action builds your credibility and polishes your
reputation.

The way to be impressive is to do impressive and valuable
things. Instead of wasting your time posing as a successful
person, get busy with the real and persistent efforts that
will truly make you successful.

True accomplishment is infinitely better than the mere
appearance of accomplishment. The way to gain the sincere
respect and admiration of others is to make positive and
valuable things happen.

Those who shout loudly and yet do nothing will eventually be
ignored or laughed at. Those who work quietly and
consistently end up gaining the greatest influence.

Instead of just talking about it, step forward and do it.
Without saying a word, you can make yourself heard with the
quality of your actions.
