“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”
— Thomas Jefferson

Simplified Meaning:
To find out who you truly are, focus on what you do rather than asking deep questions. Your actions show your true character more clearly than words can. For example, imagine someone who wants to be seen as a kind person. If they spend their time helping others and being generous, their actions prove their kindness without them needing to say a word. On the other hand, if they only talk about being kind but never actually do anything to help others, their true nature is revealed by their lack of action. So, if you're unsure about your identity or values, start by doing things that reflect the person you want to be. Your behavior will create a clearer picture of who you are.
