Homework Statement
Hi, this is not a homework but I've had this question stuck my in head for so long and I just can't understand what my teacher's explanation.
Okay here goes...
According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction", then how are we able to move? Isn't there an opposing force in every action? If I exert a force of 10N, isn't there an equal and opposite reaction of 10N that is supposed to balance out the force? If so, how are we able to move at all?

The Attempt at a Solution
My teachers always tell me something about "acting on a body" which I have no idea what it means at all.
Thanks! I just sat for my paper and lucky me, a similar question came out. Just my luck.
