Doing vs Thinking

Doing vs Thinking

Doing is carrying out a series of tasks.

Thinking is reflecting on what tasks should be carried out.

Balancing thought and action will always be a challenge for many people. This is because they want the right task to be carried out effectively.

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction

 - John F Kennedy

What you want is progress, in life and career. And that can only achieved through action.

"Doing" involves risk but it's the only way to make progress.

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned

- Peter Marshall

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will define you

- Thomas Jefferson

Results come to those who act while others are discovering the "right" ways to generate results. When you act you can fine-tune the process to the "right" way!

Don't over-plan and under-act!

Thinking and planning in advance is important, vital in fact, to your success, but acting is even more crucial to long-term achievement.

Actions you take beat life-changing intentions.

Once you commit to getting started, momentum carries you through. Producing results builds positive momentum. With momentum you'll get ahead and make progress much faster.

Not only is doing easier than "thinking about doing", but doing also allows you to find the "right" way.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing

- Walt Disney

Actions speak louder than words. Just start doing something on your "to do" list. Before you know it that long list will be a lot more manageable and will soon be completed.
