Actions speak louder than words

Once upon a time, there was a 10 year old boy named Sandeep. He was good at drawing. But very soon he started getting overconfident about himself. Whenever with his friends, he boasted about being the best artist in the class. His classmates seemed to be quite impressed with him. There was another boy in his class named Sohan. Although he worked very hard and was very good at drawing, he was humble and never praised himself in the company of friends.

Then came a time when the teacher announced a drawing competition to be held after one week. Sandeep, being very sure about his drawing skills did not think it necessary to practice for the competition. However, Sohan practiced his drawing skills daily and prepared himself for the competition.

On the day of the competition, Sandeep drew a river and a boat, but did not colour it well. At many instances his colours went outside the picture border due to lack of practice. On the other hand, Sohan drew a beautiful painting of a landscape, giving it a mix of vibrant colours, at the same time also ensuring the accuracy of his colouring skills.

When the results were declared, Sohan won the first prize in the competition, and everyone realized who the best artist was.

Merely talking about how well you can do things does not work. At the end of the day it is our actions that speak louder than words.
