Action

Many times I’ve heard the phrase: “Watch what they do, not what they say.” in reference to to learning from others. So how should we interpret this?

Many people seek out mentors who are in positions they strive to be in to give them advice. The advice they give may be priceless, however, it may not always be accurate; as humans are emotional creatures who have a tendency to say something and do another. Therefore, in order to maximise the value gained from others, we should learn from their actions rather than listen to every bit of advice they happen to spurt out.

It may be cliché, but actions definitely speak louder than words.
