The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball, they fight no fights. They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers. They make mistakes because they try many things. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. His is the brake on the wheel of progress. And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes, because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing, except criticize those who do things.

Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk.

Learning is finding out what you already know, Doing is demonstrating that you know it, Teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers.

James 1:22:
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
(NIV)
But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
(AMP)
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
(KJV)

Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.
|
And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the doers of good.
|
I have a lot of faith in my players. They have to believe in themselves. We have to be the doers, not takers.
|
Talkers are no good doers.
|
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.

Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
