I'm not sure if I got your point of view so I'm going to give a wider range response.
Well, you make me go back to the psychology most scientific vision of Piaget.
Action always precede thought since we are born.
It's based on the action with objects that children using the sensory-motor system builds intelligence but in the building of the cognitive apparel.
We must take care because we are what we do, in the existentialist view, man is always doing on what he/she is done of.
To Be is based in self-analysis of the personality, but acting or doing has an as also cognitive involvement.
So to me, Thought is to think about reality and Knowledge is the way to change Reality in action.
Thinking about feeding children do not change the world unless we act in reality.
If we change inside we have to act with people to propagate our change in the world.
So Being and Acting is the carrousel of life to change the world around us.
