It’s one thing to talk about your values and skills; it’s another thing to show them.
The world is full of people who talk a good game, but who consistently under deliver. It’s not that words are not important—they can be very important—but action is more so. If I say something is a priority to me, there will be more weight to what I say if others can actually see how it has affected my life in tangible ways.
Ultimately, our lives, our actions, our work, are going to speak for themselves. Regardless of what we may say about ourselves, in the end, it’s what we do that matters most.
