Here is your answer -

Example Is Better Than Precept

Once upon a time, not in the long ago, but in the recent past. There was a school int mountains. The school had many competent teachers in it. However Mr. Harris was the uniquest of all of them. He practised life values more than he taught. For example, he always reached his class without being delayed. Most often he was seen standing outside the class even before the bell for his period rang. He was meticulous with his teaching, assignments, checking, revision, tests, etc. He kept a healthy distance between himself and his students. He dressed decently, neatly, and formally. He often taught them skills such as time-management, self-discipline, punctuality, regularity, perseverance, optimism, patience, etc. All students considered him a person who had no heart. Now, there was an unobtrusive boy, who always sat quietly with underlying sadness in his bearing. Mr Harris's insightful eyes could see there was something wrong in his life. Mr. Harris took the extra care of knowing what was wrong with that student. Mr. Harris was stunned to know that the student had lost his mother at a very young age; his father was indifferent to his healthy nurturing. Mr Harris decided to help him in all possible ways. He would often go to his house with his wife. He would comfort him, teach him personally. He would give him money for his personal needs. He had instructed the boy not to disclose to anyone at school about this extra care he would get from him. The time passed. After 10 years, they boy whom Mr Harris had adopted, became an MD cardiologist. On the day of his wedding with his soulmate, Mr Harris and his wife sat at the place where his parents would have sat. Mr Harris in his wedding addressed thanked Mr Harris and his wife and mentioned to the gathering whatever he was it was because of Mr Harris and his wife's love and care. The gathering of course had some of Mr Harris's other students. They were all flabbergasted at the revelation. Thus Mr Harris set an example of selfless love and care for someone in need. He did not preach love; he acted love! His life stands for 'Example is better than precept.'
