Practice What You Preach

People always say use your time wisely;

Those same people are the ones who wait for opportunities. 

They’ll say “show up early”, and be the last ones to show up;

Or give criticism, without correcting their own mistakes.

It’s not about what you said, it is about how you said it.

You can't expect someone to do a specific instruction,

If you aren't willing to do it yourself.

You just have to practice what you preach.
