Moreover, this user said that sometimes it is better to be silent and let the action speak for themselves.
Sometimes it’s better to be silent and put in the work in order to have a much bigger platform and a louder voice. You put in the work and be atop that platform now Coach; and folks be listening.
Do as I say, not as I do only goes so far; actions speak much more than words.— Theophilus Bob (@pontifed) December 30, 2022
