To live by being an example

There's a story about Gandhi.
When you go through his life story, you just cannot help but be inspired.

One day a woman came to see Gandhi with her son in tow."Tell my son to stop eating sugar!" she demanded of Ghandi.

Gandhi thought for a moment and said "Come back tomorrow."

The woman and her son returned the next day.

Gandhi motioned the son forward and said "Stop eating sugar".

The son bowed his head, nodded and started to walk away but his mother stopped him and turned to Gandhi.

"You could have said that yesterday. Why did you have uscome back today?" she asked.

"Yesterday", Gandhi replied "I was STILL eating sugar".
