Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So you're out here teaching everyone else what's right and wrong — but are you actually following your own advice? You're telling people not to steal, but then you turn around and steal yourself?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Don't be the person who gives great advice but can't take it themselves.
