Example is not the main thing in influencing others – it is the only thing.

Once a woman approached Gandhi and asked if he would tell her son to stop eating sugar.
“Please bring your son back in two weeks and I will speak to him.”
Two weeks later, the woman returned with her son.
Gandhi said to the boy, “Stop eating sugar.”
The woman then asked Gandhi why she and her son had to wait two weeks for that message.
“Because two weeks ago, I was eating sugar,” Gandhi replied.
