17、 and numerous failures, he brought the world the incredible light. From his experience we can realize the importance of perseverance and patience.

23、tions Speak Louder than WordsJust as the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.“ It emphasizes the importance of actions. Everything will become a daydream without actions. The parent who tells a child not to smoke and then lights a cigarette is unlikely to convince his child of the harmful
24、effect of smoking. Therefore, children whose parents smoke are more likely to become smokers. Some people always complain about the traffic jams, but they don“t stop at the red light. So the traffic jam still exists. Only when we take actions can we make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplis
25、h. Otherwise, what we hope will remain a daydream. Actions will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. The more actions we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. Therefore, we should cherish beautiful dreams, but what“s more important is that we should take actions to make the dreams come true. Anyway, actions speak louder than words.
