That means the airhead clerks in my husband ofc can look busy all day, then he later finds out they were listening to the stupid AnnaNicole custody hearing.
Seriously, you can do a lot & never really accomplish anything. That is what the quote means. For instance, you can find 16hrs worth of stuff to do in a day, but still avoid the things you need to actually do something about (a debt, an apology, an onerous chore). See what I mean?

It means to be able to say that someone had "action", he should have gained an objective ( made an accomplishment). On the other hand, a person may be constantly in "motion" but was not able to do (accomplish) something tangible or "good" then there was no "action" . For action to be successful, something tangible and beneficial should have been accomplished. e.g. I am running to and fro in panic - I am in motion but i did not accomplish any "action"

action is somethig that is purposeful...peoples' actions accomplish things and lead to achievements, whereas motion is simply movement.
