At a university, a professor asked his students: "If there are four birds on a tree and three of them decided to fly away, how many are left on the tree?" Everyone answered, "One".
They were surprised when one student disagreed and said, "Four birds remain". This caught everyone's attention. The professor asked him: "How so?" He replied: "You said they decided to fly, but you didn't say they actually flew. Making a decision doesn't mean taking action".
And indeed, that was the correct answer. This story reflects the lives of so many people — they have many slogans and catchy words, and they shine in gatherings and among friends, but in reality, their lives don’t reflect those words. So many people talk, but only a few actually act!
Making a decision is one thing; taking action is something else entirely.
