After a recent orientation program for the parents of new college freshmen, a former counselor came up to me. "I was nodding my head the whole time during your presentation," she said. "I used to tell my incoming parents the exact same things; only now I'm the mom and I have to live it. It's a lot harder to believe that everything will be OK."
The view is different from the other side of the table. If you can't live your advice firsthand, learn from those who have. Be sure what you're preaching makes sense in practice.
