Assalamualaikum and a very good morning I bid to my English teacher, Pn Nik Elida and my fellow friends. Today I am going to deliver a public speaking entitled Empty Vessels Make A Loud Sound.
We can see that when empty vessels make a loud sound when struck with something. But filled vessels do not make much sound. This proverb has a hidden level of meaning. There are people around us who are like empty vessels or like filled vessels. Empty vessels refer to empty headed people who are the most talkative and noisy. These people go on speaking continuously, but their speeches are meaningless. They boast that they can do this and that. Such people are not to be taken seriously. They talk much and are short of action.
Filled vessels refer to people who talk less and do more. Every word uttered by them will be meaningful and so they have to be taken seriously. They talk sensibly and their words carry weight. They won’t boast, but are capable of doing everything that they say. They talk only when it is necessary. These people believe more in action than in words. Serious people do not preach. A man who has only a little knowledge boasts that he is a scholar whereas a really profound scholar would not boast of his scholarship. His scholarship is made known to others through his sensible words and good deeds. So it is said that empty vessels make the most sound.
It could also be taken to mean that people who don't think a lot or reason make silly statements about subjects they know little or nothing about. Have you ever noticed the person in a group who seems to want to be heard above everyone else? They tend to talk loudly and want everyone to be impressed by what they have to say. Usually this sort of person has little of real value to add to a conversation but enjoy the attention they think they're getting. I am wondering have all of you
