One proverb I would like to introduce is “Actions speak louder than words.” It means that what people do is more important than what they say.
There was a time when I made many study plans, but I often failed to follow them. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I should do instead of actually doing it. One day, I decided to stop making excuses and start taking action. I began studying a little every day and followed my schedule as much as possible.
As time passed, I noticed that I was learning more and managing my time better. I felt proud of myself because I was turning my plans into actions.
This experience taught me the meaning of the proverb “Actions speak louder than words.” I learned that making plans is important, but taking action is what truly makes a difference.
Another proverb I would like to introduce is the Korean proverb “가는 말이 고와야 오는 말이 곱다.” It means that if you are kind to others, they will be kind to you in return.
One day, I was kind to my friend, and my friend was kind to me in return. This simple experience helped me understand the meaning of the proverb.
This experience taught me that kindness often comes back to us. That is why I think the proverb “가는 말이 고와야 오는 말이 곱다” is an important lesson in everyday life.
