Answer 1

1) Example is better then precept.:-

The proverb mentions the importance of action over words. People have the habit of giving advice easily to others. But most people who advise others are not the followers of their own advice. When we give advice to someone, we should first introspect ourselves. It is better to act as an example than to give advice. For those who smoke should not ask their children or others to quit smoking. When they do so, it will not make any difference. Only when the advice is spoken by someone who follows it, it will be accepted readily. When someone speaks or advice something that he himself does not follow, it will have no effect on those who listen.


2) Pleasure of village life:-

People living in the villages mostly indulge in agricultural activities and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic city life. They lead a simple life. A day in the life of a villager starts early morning. People usually wake up around 5 am and start with their daily chores. Since most of the people in the villages sleep on their roofs they are woken up as the day light breaks. They may even be woken up by the crowing of rooster.

In most of the villages, it is the male members who go out to work while the females sit at home and complete the household tasks such as cleaning and cooking. Children get ready and head to the schools located nearby. The male members are mostly involved in farming and other agricultural activities. They either have their own farms or work for the landlords who hire them. Cycles are the most common means to travel from home to work. This is the reason why the pollution level in the villages is far low compared to the cities.

Farmers toil hard in the farms. Many of them go home for lunch others have their lunch in the shade of a tree. All in all, life in a village is slow yet peaceful.
