What would you like to remember about the meaning of the word action so that you can use it when you write or speak?
Answer

The positive and lively connotation.

Explanation:

The word action comes to mind when I think of a movie scene that starts when somebody shouts: 'Action!'

In writing it is important for its lively contribution to any kind of subject that could be pretty boring if it were too theoretical: If I want to explain an abstract noun, I prefer saying: You can see and touch the happy boy, but you cannot touch his happiness. These actions (to see & to touch) help a lot.

In speaking it is quite different because it depends on how you explain something. The way you move your head, the look you have, the tone of your voice. Nevertheless, the eloquence of the speech is important too, and I dare say that eloquence is also a form of action, because your brain is very active in order to construct well-thought and logical phrases.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,

i don't understand : /
