It's Not What You Say...

Tonight was quite a successful night. The Jazz concert went very well and both groups played wonderfully. My solos went well, and I got quite a few compliments afterwards on them. Of course, there's always a surprise...

One girl told me after the concert that she didn't know I played piano. I thought this was odd, because I always am telling people I play. Then I happened to remember one of life's little lessons:

"People may doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do"

This is true not only for things like playing piano, but also to things regarding one's character. You can say you're a kind, loving, gentle (ect. ect.) person until you're blue in that face. There will always be room for doubt. However, if you show that you are, if you "do" rather than "say" people will always have reason to believe.

May God keep you, this and every night!


Gentlemen: Same drill. What do you think about this lesson? Are you a "sayer" or a "doer"? Has an example of this occurred anytime within the past few months? Keep up the good work, and remember to email me those responses.
