Goodnight
Definitely I agree with what you indicate, people are influenced, when they see that person who wants to influence her, as an example to follow.
There are many people who want to inspire others, but, simply, they are not the example in which they want to see other people. To give a simple and even cruel example, I have observed people who work as sellers of food products. They help you lose weight and try to sell the product, but you see that the seller is overweight, the prospective buyer does not see it as an example to follow and they stop buying it.
When we want to be an example for other people, we must profess the example and, with that, in addition to our ability to influence others, we can convince others
Another great and mature comment @rafaelj25
I love to see how responsive you are. Steemit indeed needs more people like you. Keep up with good work :)
