How can you influence by words when your actions remain invisible?

How can a father model his children on table manners when he leaves his dinning table to rot and eats in his sitting room, before the television?

How can a mother teach her children, to cook when she does not cook?

Role modeling is in the doing. Words are beautiful but easily forgotten but actions are glued to your thoughts even when you desire to wipe them away.

To be an excellent Role Model, you need to exhibit pictograhical not oratorical memories that will leave the benefactor endlessly searching for an eraser to edit or wipe, when he has sufficiently digested the models you dished out.

St. Anthony of Padua in the 1200s quoted: “Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak.”

Let your doings do the modeling not your words.
