Practice First and then Preach

Once a lady comes to know that her husband had won 2 million dollar lottery. Instead of feeling happy, she is little worried. Since her husband is a heart patient and if he comes to know about the lottery, he might get another attack as well because of the excitement. So, she approaches the priest for a solution.
The priest says “Bring your husband to the temple in the evening. I will convey the news to him in such a manner that he will not be excited”.
In the evening the couple goes to the temple and after performing pooja, the priest sits with them and says to the husband –“The Lord is very much pleased with you. With His grace, if you win a lottery of 2 million dollars, what will you do?”
The husband smiles and says – “ What will I do with so much money. I will give half the amount to you.”
Listening to this, the priest gets so excited and dies of heart attack immediately.
This story tells us why we should practice the knowledge first and then preach to others.
