"Well done is better than well said"

~ Benjamin Franklin ~

Let's say that you're being considered for a promotion in your workplace. In order to get it, you will need to convince the directors and managers of your company that you are better than all their other candidates. Now, wouldn't it be more convincing to show some good work and put in efforts to benefit the company rather than just talking to the directors and managers about how good you'd be for the post? 

Hence, a job is better well done than being just well said.
