It Does

'Rub Off' Onto Others

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
'By Your Example'

“The world

is changed

by your example

not your opinion”

It is in our nature,

as humans,

to copy others.

We learnt how to eat,

drink

and speak

by copying our parents,

and we learnt acceptable behaviour

by copying our family (usually).

Every one of us

‘has an opinion’

which we all try to respect.

However,

we can only change the world

which we live in

and is around us

by our Example.

We always

want to set

a good Example

for our children.

How about

setting a good Example

for our friends

and the people we meet?

How?

By

that lovely smile

and

those Positive words.

It does ‘rub off’ onto others.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
