Actions and words are louder together

Situation A:

One that speaks. 

He who promises.

and he who confesses.

One who's simply a living language.

Talks a lot. Commits a lot. 

And fails to keep it, a lot.

Situation B:

One that acts. 

He who carries out.

and he who behaves.

One who's simply a cat in a human form.

More on the action. More on the exertion.

And breeds... more question.

What's worse?

Ask me and I'll answer: they're the same. 

And equally, they share downsides. 

Words convey a message--they instruct, they clarify, they confirm--whereas performing the action is what completes a task. For instance, in a book, the words serve as 'prequel', actions stand as 'sequel'. Both are significant ingredients to establish a great foundation for a story.

The only reason behind the popular phrase, "action speaks louder than words" is the fact that carrying out and taking action brings the destination closer.

Hence, actions aren't enough.

So as words.

Actions initiate confusion.

Without words, they're vague and wavering.

Words, however, are merely sounds uttered by the tongue.

The action is what puts the meaning into the words said.

To say something and to do something are two different things. Thus, be a man of your words. Take these two vital elements with you--proper communication through spoken words and timely performance of the required action--and together, they'll make a difference.
