selfless... self-less!!

One of my juniors in school wrote in my autograph book "Act on the advice you give others". She was a good junior, my sister's classmate and this was a borrowed line from somewhere. But in spite of all the years gone by and all that my very close friends wrote to me, I always remembered this one special line and it always make me think...THINK!
The whole wide world is full of just advices, advices & more advices. You have a problem & I give you the best advice I can...but when the same problem comes to me?? ...I'll easily say "that's her & this is me!". And when she doesn't take my advice, I accuse her of arrogance, ego, stubbornness, disobedience, and what not! While when I can't do it, I'm weak, sensitive, hurt! Everything actually revolves around "me"! This is how the world usually works! Once again... "Act on the advice you give others". :)
