Walk the Talk

Saying is easy whereas walking the talk is not that easy. Many of the time we would like to feel good and talk good about what transpired. However, to translate the talking point into action is not that easy. Having said this, as we always say we must honour with what we pledge, we should at least trying hard to fulfill what we have promised. It means observing the spirit and message behind any saying that we have communicated with others. For example, if I promised to look into a complaint, then it is better to solve it or at least to understand the issue. This is straight forward case.

What irked me the most is at time for the sake of feeling good, we tend to adopt any good slogan or vision statement without realising the consequences or impact on our daily routine. When daily routine continue of happening that jeopardise the statement, we do not realise it and try to rectify it. This is tantamount to innocently guilty to me. For example, while we talk about helping the needy and underprivileged, the policy of equity in taxation and treatment do not reflect that. Similarly, we talk about placing children and senior citizen at top priority but do not pay respect to their wish.
