It is a cycle, we think, we say, we act and we think yet again. But how much of our thoughts are expressed into words and how much of what we say into our actions is something we will never probe into. The fact remains unquestionable that it never was and never can be 100 percent. However at the end of the day the combination of all these three have an impact on our life and more often than not on the life of others. But who are we to look into other's lives when here most of us are still struggling to consider our own.
No, I am not pondering on some philosophy, nor am I just writing down a string of confused ruminations. Life is a series of forks where we have to choose between two not necessarily vastly different, yet somewhat unsimilar options. The point however is that a single such choice can bring about turning points in life. So I come back to my first consideration - thoughts. The parameter that helps us take the first step towards the choice - the decision. The second consideration - words. Much has been said about the second step - expression. A thought that has not been expressed generally finds its way into the dumping grounds of our mind. Well, I know, not many will agree, because sometimes words do fall short and so here comes the turn of my third consideration - actions or the final step - implementation.
The fact is that in this 3 way process, the efficiency is never 100 percent. What we think and decide are not all expressed and what we say or express is never fully implemented. The final result however is not entirely dependent on just the action, it is a result of the combination of all three. Hence what is necessary is not just to be careful with our words and actions but with the origin of these two - the thoughts.
[You see I started writing this with some specific thoughts in my mind, but as I have indicated above, I may not have been able to express it fully. I hope you can fill in the gaps with your own thoughts wherever you find appropriate]

Hi Anki !!! :-)
Hmm, of Thoughts and Words n Actions ... a very appropriate way to describe the steps involved in producing any result !...
The efficiency might not be 100% in thoughts to words .. and from words to action ... but then ... it surely doesn't refrain us from the first originating step which is thoughts - as unbound and clear as described in ur previous post....
Also, there r some more aspects I recognized ... the 'expression' can be often too un-obvious or near to missing.. in some cases ....so tht wht we think/plan is wht we achieve by silently working on it..
On the other hand.. if wht we think, we can generate similar thought process by our words, into others' mind... we've achieved 100% efficiency (u c why?.. coz it is abt creating their rainbow - frm their perspective... isnt it :) ji.. )
Similarly, if an abstraction has been basis of our thoughts (say "success" or "happiness" or "fame"), then our actions may also let us achieve tht particular feeling to our satisfaction .. so tht it also gets 100% considering the fact tht wht we think today, is a genesis of difft mental state than wht we think some time later...
A very simple way of describing a subtle, complex(as complex as u may want it to be) issue..... :-) ... no-doubt, wonderful (ok gr8 in ur words :D) to c ur signature style after so many days....
Keep writin sis..

True,
The point that makes one gr8 is whats ur efficiency in converting ur plans to reality. Lots of us can dream big and good, but the implementation step is where most of us fail.
We make study plans but almost everytime (as in my case) fail to act according to that. One should be persistent, determined and patient to change our thoughts to reality (big words!! I know..).
Again its too easy to say than to do, so why not try to say only things that one can do. But it doesnt mean that one shud remain silent always.. ;)
P.S. In Industrial management I think we were taught about something like Think, Plan, Act cycle.
