Perception is greater than reality. By default, doesn’t it translate to “words are greater than action”?

Very often, little does he do in his office to match up to the euphoria that transported him there but then, such is the power of words because they stir dormant souls.

A person’s ability to articulate his thoughts gives him a position of unique standing amongst those around whom they are. It is an experience too obvious to be missed. All you have to do is to just look around yourself, unless of course, you have a vested interest in not seeing yourself grow.

The first chapter in Leadership skills is on growing your effective communication abilities.
