Setting up an example by being Authentic.

In A song sung by Vani Jayaram for the Hindi film Guddi, beginning with- Hum ko mann ki shakti dena, the second line conveys a powerful message for all aspiring humanity-‘ Doosron ki jai se pehle khud ko jai karen’, meaning, “Before attempting to improve others, may we improve ourselves.”

Indeed there are many who reel out prescriptions for others when their own ills have not been resolved! In this context, the Bible conceives of the concept, “Physician heal thyself.”

There are many who volunteer to advice, criticize and suggest when they are far from being qualified to do so. In this regard the observation of Eric Hoffer is noteworthy, “It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one’s neighbor.” Indeed charity begins at home!!!
