Words VS. Actions

Words and actions are two very powerful forces that humans posses.

But which one is more effective, stronger? Are they on the same level?

There are plenty of polarizing figures who have been full of words and actions. There are a plethora of people ordinary and famous who have displayed these two forces at work, for good and bad.

You have people who have good rhetoric, they just have a way with words. But in the action department they are lacking, afraid to move. They love to move the lips, may have great tactics when debating a point. Also they may have pretty good writing skills.

Then you got people who are all about actions. Some may be very timid and soft spoken, but their actions speak louder. They love to be useful in anyway possible way. Usually, they will listen and not dominate the conversation.

Those are my perceptions on people who display actions and words. People tend to lean one way, or the other. The point I'm trying to get to is that I see a lot people, who excel in words, have great knowledge, yet are scared to be active. Then the other side you have people, who move, move, but never take time to gain knowledge, sit down and absorb things. My perceptions maybe wrong.

But as I think out loud. I see some of the most humble, yet eloquent people have a healthy medium between the two. These people were, are of great intelligence, know what to do, and have a huge heart.

Do the two forces go hand in hand?
Chime in, if you like.
