Be Content To Act, And Leave The Talking To Others.

My dear,

There are usually two types of people in this world. Those who act, and those who talk about acting.

Those who talk about about acting get most of the attention, in the beginning. But overtime once people realize that that’s all they do, talk, they leave. They leave in search of those who act, those who actually change the world.

… And you can’t be both. You’re either the talker, or the doer. Each has it’s positives and negatives. So it’s all up to you to choose which of them you want to be. But I will give you once piece of advise before you make your decision.

Be content to act, and leave the talking to others.

You will never regret the moments you acted instead of talking. Trust me.

Falsely yours,
Baltasar Gracián y Morales
