A Good Example

I am yet to meet a kinder teacher than a good example. Oh, how I love examples!                                                                                                 

 A good example is as refreshing as a glass of cold water on a hot day. Think of the complex mathematics or physics calculations that never seemed to penetrate your mind no matter how much you read? Now look back and see what role an example played. Not just any example, but a good, well-organized and simplified example: it would lift a heavy weight off your mind, make things clearer and more manageable especially by splitting it down into simple steps. Examples point the way, lead you down the path and safely take you to your destination. They are practical, patient and considerate of the fact that you are probably totally clueless about what you're doing! Such is life. No single person has lived any stage of their lives before; they only meet it when it comes. However, if you have someone who has lived through a certain stage successfully, you can follow their example and avoid any hidden traps, delays or detours! Now, that's what we call a living example. We all sure need a living example, and it better be good. Thus said, should you be unlucky enough to only have bad examples along your path, remember to turn the other way!
