In any event the user's opinion of a product is reflected in the standard achieved so actions speak louder than words.

Our team is strong, but it won't be a piece of cake to make it to the finals. As I told the story, my daughter was all ears. It would be better if you drew out a map with the direction to the place rather than just telling me. A picture is worth a thousand words.
