We bring change through example, not words.
Sooner or later, words fade into significance and people start scrutinizing the
person behind the words. Heard of the saying," pot calling the kettle
black?" Only actions can make a difference.
When I was travelling back to Chennai from
Mumbai, I saw a family of parents and 3 to 4 children who were making a real
racket and drawing the frowning attention of the passengers around them. The
parents were laughing and talking really loudly and so were the kids being
unruly and loud. You could see that the attitude of self absorption did not
remotely register in their minds and behavior in public places was not a
subject of study.
BE the person you want the other to be.
Many parents cease to have influence on their kids until they understand that
children learn what they demonstrate, likewise in any situation in life; at
home in society or workplace.
