Show, not tell

Dr. Khala shared something that she learned from her father (my Nana) - that you’re more likely to do something by example than by someone telling you to do it.She told the story of when her father lived at their house. “He was a very religious man mA, he would pray five times a day, which wasn’t very common at our home,” khala says. “But he wouldn’t say anything to me or Noor.”“One day, Noor joined him in prayer – and my father had tears in his eyes.”Day 24 Wisdom 24: Teach by example.PS: Dr. Khala added one more story, turning a traditional wisdom on its head! Her adorable grandson Zayn, 10, was sitting beside her and she said she had been teaching him how to knit; he picked it up quickly and enjoyed it so much, he was knitting a blanket for his sister’s doll. “You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach a new dog old tricks,” Dr. Khala laughed!
