I have frequently heard young people say repeatedly with
garnished vocabularies what they wish or want to do. I have often heard youths
verbalized their dreams, visions and plans for the future. After some time, I
found out that 20% of them prepared and acted on their dreams, vision and plans, the rest are either still talking about their plan for the future, or waiting
for something to happen in the future, and or perhaps have forgotten about
their plan for the future.
It is obvious that so many are professionals in saying what
they will do, but unprofessional in doing what they said. We are in a talking
society filled with people are talking so much of their plans, and doing
virtually nothing or at most little about them. Some are masters in talking
about excuses why they are not doing something.
Young people need to understand that it is better to talk
less and do more than to talk more and do nothing. Talking is not equivalent to
doing; and as well doing is not proportional to talking.
Youths need not to wait for something to happen; they need
to make something to happen.
It is better to talk less and do more than to do less and
talk more.
Don’t be a spectator of your dream, but be an actor of your
dream.
Don’t just be a talker,
but a doer of your dream.
When talking does not mutate to doing it becomes a joke, and
when planning does not metamorphose to acting it becomes a tale.
"A talkative bird does not build a net" West Africa Proverb.
