Hearing and Doing

By Philip E. Howard

EVERY time we know what we ought to do, and then fail to do it, we become by just so much the weaker in character. Hearing good advice and saying, “Yes, that’s so,” is pretty poor business unless we do something with the good advice we receive. You can sit around for hours talking about the things you ought to do, and you can even feel that you have been busy, very busy. But if some one comes along and says to you, “Oh, yes, I know what you believe; but what have you really done about it today?” how will you answer? That’s a fair test for any of us.—Philip E. Howard.
