Habits are learned. And children learn their habits by watching what we do, not by listening to what we say. So we have to stop talking and teaching and preaching and just go do.
My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I'm preaching, I'm practicing.
I think 'Actions speak louder than words' is one thing, I think, I always took from my mom. And to this day, I think about that in everything I do.
You need to walk the talk, because you can't expect your organization to behave a certain way that you're not willing to behave.
I think success is when the way you talk about who you want to be and what you want to do lines up with who you are and what you do. I guess, by that, I mean I think success is practicing what you preach.
I had always been feeling uncomfortable in my mind about giving advice to others and not acting upon it myself.
It is easy enough to hold an opinion, but rather more testing to act on it.
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
