　　Actions Speak Louder Than Words 　　A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going . I assume that you are familiar with William Penns remark. The watch is crucial for every individual, because it tells the time by moving constantly. It is obvious that a man is of little value if he fail to act like a watch.

　　William Penns remark aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. We can not emphasize the importance of actions too much. Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point. How could the foolish old man who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieve his dream without taking constant actions ?

　　From my perspective , at no time should we ignore the value of actions. Accordingly, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. actions speak louder than words. A philosopher also once said.

　　威廉.佩恩(英國海軍上將)曾說：一個人的價值，就好比手表，是由他不斷的行動來決定的。手表對于每個人都很重要，因為它通過一刻不停的移動來告訴人們時間。很明顯，一個人如果不想手表那樣的行動，也就價值甚微了。

　　威廉.佩恩的話目的在于告訴我們采取行動的重要性。我們再怎么強調(diào)行動的重要性也不為過。行動能使我們更順利地實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)、更快速地實現(xiàn)夢想。我們采取的行動越多，我們就越能積累經(jīng)驗、掌握技巧并且接近目標(biāo)。為了進一步證明行動的重要性，我想以一個著名的中國寓言故事做為例子：夢想移走門前大山的愚公，如果不采取持續(xù)的行動，怎么能實現(xiàn)他這個巨大的夢想呢?

　　在我們看來，任何時候我們都不應(yīng)該忽視行動的價值。因此，我們不僅應(yīng)該擁有夢想，還需要采取行動去實現(xiàn)。一位哲學(xué)家也曾經(jīng)說過行勝于言。
