What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do. —John Ruskin

It is not what we think or believe becomes our symbol, it is what we do. Whether good or bad, the status of a person in the minds of others is determined by the activity or work they do. It is like an iceberg. What we think or believe is not known to others, what they see is what we do or what we show to them. So whatever ideologies we think we need to show it to others through our life. The things should an example of what we believe. Some of the greatest personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, A.P.J Abdul Kalam had made their own life a path to walk through. They all did what they believed in. They behaved in the way they were rather than putting a mask on the face.

A person can get angry at you only when you do something. It doesn’t matter how you think until you do something which creates a problem for others. We do things according to our perception and culture but that need not be the same for others as their perception and culture can be different from ours. Just like the theory that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”, every activity or doing will have after effect or consequence which can be positive or negative.

  1. Its a fact that whatever we do there will be a result for that, it can be good or bad .So each and every thing that happens in our life is unavoidable.Its better to live being human, to face this challenging world so lightly.
