Observing People's Actions Not Their Words

If you happen to be one of those people who take every word that comes out of people's mouths to be true, then you're in for a shocker. Because in reality, people always mask their true intentions with words, spoken to misguide you completely.

Sad as it may seem, the majority of people tell lies very often. For example, the most timid people will often make statements to mask their timidity. And give you fake stories, to make you feel that they are courageous people. And if you're still naive - you'll take their words for it.

You should develop beyond words, because words don't cut it in this reality of ours. On the other hand - action! Action says it all, because no matter what, "Your actions will speak louder than your words." It will show your true intentions.

Because a person may say that he is a hard working person, and that he doesn't even sleep at night, he works like a robot - he goes 3 days without taking a nap. What you want to do is get closer to him, and observe his actions - if that's what he actually does - because most times it's just a lie.

Let people's action speak so loudly to you, that you don't even have time to listen to their words. All that needs to be said, has been said by what they do and did. Note, more than 65% of human communication is nonverbal - thus, if you want to understand people, observe what they do non verbally - the actions they take.
