Speaking of dreams, many people will spout on and on, but if you ask them whether they are striving to realize them, they may say nothing in reply. It is more easily said than done. But anyways don’t be a giant in words, a dwarf in deeds. Some people only say good words but have no action. Although some people are inarticulate, they can practice what they said. Which kind of people do you admire? My answer is the latter. I guess all of us admire a great doer rather than a great talker.
