Being no example is better than being a bad example. As a child, I didn’t think about good or bad examples, not consciously anyway, but as the adult, it's clear that some of the examples being shown, weren’t positive examples I wanted to follow myself.

If we're not following another person’s example, we must set our own good example, live by those examples and aim to do better, in turn potentially helping those less fortunate than ourselves. Setting a good example will always pave the way and impact other people’s lives positively.

We are either a good example, or we’re not. There aren't any half measures. Without setting a good example, there can be no example or standard, and whilst that may work for some, we’re not all living a single life, where we only have ourselves to think about.

We must always set a good example, particularly if we want our children to live with good examples in their own lives. I believe it should be part of the parenting scenario or any scenario, if it is to make us better people.

Whilst the responsibility of setting a good example can seem quite daunting at times, it’s one we should learn to embrace. As society continues to dictate its own moral codes, we must continue to abide by its rules.

Good examples must start from home.
