Action and Thought

[su_quote cite="Henri L. Bergson"]Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.[/su_quote]

A man of action does things when things need to be done. A man of thought thinks about things before doing them.

If you do something without thinking, you will most likely not be as pleased with the outcome as you would be if you had stopped to think about your options and outcomes beforehand. As a cake isn't as tasty if you just throw ingredients together without consulting a recipe (or reading the back of the mix box).

The key is to act after thinking and not just think. Thinking without doing is like putting dirty laundry in the washer without adding washing soap or turning the machine on: nothing gets done.
