As I try my hand in the art of writing (articles/blogs), most of them would be something that I strongly feel needs to be communicated from the INNER me, lot of which might sound like 'ADVICE'. But I foresee or perceive this 'Advice-giving' as a problem... And you would ask Why? Isn't 'Advice-giving' good...?
Yes - 'Advice-giving' is good, but the problem being - Whom does it come from? Does it come from someone who displays the character of a good, strong and established human-being? After writing an article what is mostly discussed, is the credential of the writer, especially from people known to him, and it comes in the form of the God-given gift to all - The gift of 'CRITICISM'...!
I know its expected of a preacher, teacher, leader, mentor (or in this case a 'writer') to strongly PRACTISE his communicated message. I write this message preparing for my defence in advance, knowing that people love playing the 'Index-Fingering' game.... ("Oh that Lionel, he has written this... what a liar (hypocrite) he is...!")
So I write this as a PRELUDE of anything that I may write in future... I'm like most human-beings... fighting a number of 'TEMPTATIONS', succumbing to most of them, but I still think its absolutely fair to let people know of what I (you) strongly believe is 'Advice' though I (You) might be the 'WEAKEST' link in practising my (your) own advice...
I am a W.I.P and I will remain a W.I.P till the day I pass away...

Yes - I'll always be 'Work-In-Progress'. I know there will be a number of times in future where I might be pinned-down for not living my own message, but those are times I plead for you look back at this article and remind you that I am an IMPERFECTIONIST, I am a HYPOCRITE, but there has never been a day OR there will never be a day in my life, where I have not strived to live my own 'advice'...!
