 1) EXAMPLE IS BETTER THAN PERCEPT        It is very easy to advise someone but very difficult to perform it physically. The proverb " Example is better than percept " means that it is better to show something in action than merely advising others. We should be example to others when doing good and should not be a man of mere words. Most people who advise others are not the followers of their own advice. When we give advice to someone, we should first introspect ourselves. It is better to act as an example than to give advice. If a drunkard advises someone about of the evils of drinking, no one would follow his words. But if an honest man speaks about honesty, everybody will be convinced of it. This is because people see others through their actions. So, it is always good to be an example of what you say or advice. 2) ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY         The ancient city Rome, was not built in a day.
