WALKING THE TALK.

"How can one decided to quit school teach about resilience? How can one influence positively when their lifestyle is uncalled for? When we don't practise what we preach we are simply hypocrite. Do what we mean, mean what we do. If don't mean it, don't do. Walking the talk is important. There are some topics I won't teach, not because I don't think is important but is because I have not practise in my own life. Never teach something you know but you don't practise, teach something that you believe and practise - because you don't need to teach, you just need to influence with your reputation and credibility. That is important." -- Delane Lim

I saw this status on facebook just a few moments ago and I felt that it is something really worth sharing, to allow us to have a chance to think through these wise words and maybe change us for the better. 

Delane Lim is a man which I look up upon since I first met him during the Batam camp when I was in secondary three. He is a man whom I think has the capability to make an impact on others' life and leads by example. Every now and then I come across newly updated facebook statuses by him and stop to ponder over his words. It seems to be his nature to be able to inject meaning to simple words and be an inspiration to the people around him. I wouldn't deny, that the batam camp a few years back, was partly what molded me into who I am today. 

I wish to become a man of credibility one day and to be able to make an impact on others' lives as well.  

Every single day in the past is the reason behind who you are today. Lead by example. To your juniors, friends, family, and one day, many years down the road, your children as well. Guess that will make life much more worthwhile.
