“Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.”

Thomas Jefferson

Simplified Meaning:

When you talk too much about what you've accomplished or your future plans, it can sometimes be better to just let your actions speak for themselves. For example, imagine a student who always tells everyone how they will get the highest grades, but they don't actually study hard. In the end, they might not do so well, and all their talk seems empty. On the other hand, another student quietly works hard without bragging. When they end up with great grades, people will notice and be impressed by their effort. By focusing on doing rather than talking, you show true commitment and avoid setting yourself up for disappointment if things don't go as planned. This attitude helps build genuine respect from others. Instead of boasting, let your results be your voice.
