3 Minute Speech On Actions Speak Louder Than Words In English

Good morning one and all. Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, it is
my pleasure and privilege to stand before you today. I am honored to have this
opportunity to speak to such a distinguished audience.

Today on this occasion, I would like to share a few words on the significance of
taking action and the very commonly spoken idiom, “ actions speak louder than
words”. Actions are more significant and tell more about a person’s character and
intentions than words, according to the adage “actions speak louder than words.” It
implies that despite what they may say, people’s genuine ideas, values, and
intentions are revealed by their deeds rather than their words.

In other words, it’s not enough for someone to simply pledge to do something; it’s
crucial that they follow through on their commitments. While it is cheap and simple
to speak words, it takes work, commitment, and time to do action. The whole idea
revolves around the notion that although words are assuring, actions are
entrusting. One could say something and gain confidence but if the pledge is not
fulfilled it will lead to distrust and the person will be called a deceiver.

For instance, even if someone claims to care about the environment, if they don’t
recycle or try to lower their carbon footprint, their words and actions will not
match. A person’s actions, however, show how seriously they take environmental
issues if they actively recycle, take part in beach clean-ups, and drive electric
vehicles. Instead of just saying they care about the environment, this person’s
actions demonstrate their concern.

This idea holds true not just for people but also for businesses and governments.
They may pledge to make changes, but only their deeds will show whether they are
sincere in their intentions.

More often than not, the core cause of deception is false promises. Words could be
a mere web of lies but actions are what define true intentions.
