Practice What You Preach

DO YOU PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH?

We often tell others to do things the right way,but how many of us really do things THE right way?Parents tell their kids not to say a lie,but they themselves don’t know how many times they have lied.It is very easy to advise others but very difficult to follow the same.One should first try to follow the principles which they want others to accept.You must not forget to practice what you preach too, because before you expect someone to change, you MUST try to make a difference in your own attitude in any small way possible.

A good way to start is by trying these simple steps -

• Do at least one good thing every day.
• Greet your neighbour with a smile the next time you see them.
• Speak up the truth and see how contending it is.
• Just once, do not overtake while driving and see how it feels.
• You may have plenty of reasons that justify your pride but just once try being modest.
• Restrain from calling someone names and experience the power of control!
• Don’t unnecessarily blow your horns…..remember: noise pollution can be deafening.
• Do something nice for someone else and you will be amazed by the sense of contentment you will derive from it.
• Treat a poor child to an ice cream and enjoy the look of happiness on their face thereafter. I am sure you will not be able to put that smile out of your mind for a long time.
• While driving when the traffic signal turns red, try to relax….feel what it’s like to follow the rules…Believe me it’s a good feeling

Just try to imbibe good things in your routine life and gradually you will set an example for others to follow.
