i present to you the fourth part of my top 5 memorable quotes/sayings. i found out that i really used the energy of my brain when i type about these quotes/sayings. it makes me hungry faster lol it makes me glad too to use my brain to generate my own thoughts and recall old memories. we need to exercise our brain or else it'll get all rusty and fat, it might be a disadvantage when it comes to making rational thought and decisions (how i wish i have the same motivation to exercise my physical body lol xD)
actions speak louder than words. this is another quote/saying that i really like and hold on to. in all honesty, words mean nothing without actions. i've seen so many people in my student life, who were great at talking especially when it came to elections' speech or giving proposals. sometimes i feel envious towards them because of their confidence and ability to influence others are very good. i'm not good at talking in front of people. i stutter real bad in my conversations or presentations unless i practice my speech mentally or verbally. but after those sweet lengthy speeches, there were less or even worse, no actions taken to prove their words at all. all the words became empty and people were left waiting in vain for the sweet promises. this was why i sometimes dreaded groupworks when i was in the university. some group members, i repeat, only some group members were just so full of ideas and started elaborating the idea greatly in words. i did contribute some ideas too while in discussions but then i stayed quiet after giving my suggestion because i was afraid that i couldn't transform my idea into works if i exaggerated it. but when it comes to the practical thing, they acted like as if they never said the idea they suggested before. that's why i prefer working or doing hands-on on the tasks rather than speaking empty words. sometimes i caught the guilt flashing in their eyes when i did the work while they just stood there observing. i don't blame them for who am i to judge others. at least, we did complete our works, sent them to the lecturers and got decent marks for the assignments.
i'm obviously someone who is much more a doer than a talker. because to prove what i feel or what i think, i don't tell it, i show it. it goes the same with the love and care i feel towards my family, relatives and friends. i confess that i'm not a person who can say 'i love you' or 'i miss you' to someone's face just like that. writing 'i love you' to someone is much easier than saying it out loud. if i can't even say those words to my family members verbally, don't ever imagine me saying those words to other people lol. i love my family and friends, yes, so i show them that i do. i try to be there when they need someone. i try to listen attentively when they want to talk about how hard their life is. i will show them that i care instead of saying words that couldn't mend their hearts at all. but i'm also trying hard to teach myself to say those three magic words to my family and friends verbally. sometimes when my mom and sisters called me on my phone and they ended our convo with 'i love you' 'i miss you' but i couldn't reply their words. it was as if my tongue was tied up or something. i could only say 'i love you too' 'i miss you too' silently in my heart. they understand my difficulty to say such words but still, it's such a pity. i hope one day i can loudly say those words to my family corresponding to my actions that show them i really love them deeply and care a lot about them. (but i know i'm not the only one who has this problem /inserts evil laughter/)
