Tell yourself this every time you are faced with the possibility to act and advance yourself. Make it happen, do what you've got to do, and you'll gain the reputation of being a doer. One thing you should always keep in mind is that talk is cheap. Any man can shoot his mouth off at anytime without ever backing his words with actions. Such men quickly gain bad reputations and usually don't move up in the world.
Actions always speak louder than words.
Judge a man based on what he does, not by what he says. This way you will build a strong and deserved reputation for action that will propel you to the top. Watch your back boys and keep your noses clean. Mafioso tells it like it is. There are four kinds of people in this world and if you want to get ahead financially, as well as socially, avoid the fourth type at all costs.
