a couple years ago, i finally understood the phrase "do as i say, not as i do" because people aren't perfect, especially teachers. but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't listen to what they say.
and if you have such a big problem with people not following their own advice, then say their advice right back to them. sometimes it's easier when someone else tells you what to do than figuring out what to do yourself.
when people stop listening to someone simply because they cannot "practice what they preach," it really bothers me. just because they don't follow their good advice doesn't mean you shouldn't follow their good advice, if they're too dumb to realize the wisdom of their words then you shouldn't lower yourself to their level and not follow their advice.
you can lose a lot of respect for someone as a human being, but always always always listen because you never know when someone you absolutely despise might say something that could change your life in a positive way.
