Human life has value and virtue because every human being has a purpose in life. Some may believe in destiny and some people believe that we create our own destiny but everyone agrees that a definite purpose gives meaning to our lives. And to fulfil that purpose you have to take action. You cannot just dream about achieving something without an action plan to make it happen. Action speaks louder than words.
As they say, “Knowledge is power”, but all great knowledge without action would come to nothing. A person could brag about his knowledge and education but what use is that knowledge if it serves no practice purpose.
A journalist once asked Albert Einstein, “What is the speed of sound”? And Albert Einstein simply replied, “I don’t know”. His reply shocked the journalist because Albert Einstein is considered the most intelligent person on earth, then how come there is something that the journalist knew but Einstein doesn’t? The journalist asked that why Einstein doesn’t know such a basic fact. And he replied why I should remember something which I could simply find in a book. Learning facts and figures doesn’t mean anything if you cannot apply them in real life. That’s why, applied knowledge is power.
Nothing would start by itself. All the electronic and mechanical gadgets we use daily must be triggered off by action. The same principle applies to our mental actions as well. When you are in the right frame of mind, it can help you to produce the desired results.
Every big job, whether it is in business, management or government, requires a man of action. A person who is not afraid to take action to convert an idea into reality would always achieve his goals. Ideas comes dime a dozen. Many great ideas die even during their creation because a person fears to take action. Actions take control of 80 percent of a job and the balance 20 percent is apportioned to the idea.
Everything we have in this world from satellites to the sky scrapers, from laundry powder to the toothpick, are the result of an idea acted upon. Action is needed to build or make a product and more action comes into play to execute the plan.
If you really want to achieve something then there is no room for procrastination. There are no room for excuses. If you have a good idea then do something about it now instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity in the future.
With every passing day we get older. To really accomplish something we need to start doing it now. Whatever your goals and ambitions may be start getting into action. Do it now, there is no time to waste.
Be a doer and an achiever. Be someone who makes things happen and not someone who merely watches from the side lines. Don’t wait for the right time. It will never come. Expect unforeseen obstacles and challenges and solve them as they arise. Get into gear and be the man of action.
