     According to the article, a person can teach by example in three ways. A person can teach by example by getting rid of bad habits. Bad Habits is what prevent some of us from moving forward. One must get rid of bad habits in order to move forward. Another way to teach by example is to try to do something that you say your going to do. It is hard to do what you say. It is easy to pretend and imagine your doing something in this world. Unfortunately, it is very hard to do what you say. But, doing it will ensure that what you say has value. There comes a point when you have to stop lying to your self so you can see the big picture. The third way you can teach by example is stop looking at pictures and saying "that is how life works." The author of the article said that we get caught up in stupid world. We caught up in thinking that the world is easy and all you have to do is press a button. That is not the truth however. You have to stop looking at "what it looks like" and start looking at "what you can do."
     I learned how to teach by example by looking for a writing related job and going to school. Looking for a writing related job lets me know "what I can and can not do." The fear of not knowing that everything is going to be alright, is the fear I do not want to deal with. Hanging around the right people and trying makes all the difference. I have to be an example to people. I can not just say one thing and do another. Lately, I have gotten suspended from my job for something that wasn't my fault. I want to quit my job. But, I can not quit job until I get fired or until I found something better. Next week, I am going to be looking for two jobs. Jobs that offer you full time like they use too. So, I am going to need two jobs and not just one. I learned this from being an example. If I wasn't an example of what I say, I would not have known what I know now. Some things you learn in books. Some things you learn from working. Trying stuff is how I learned how to do what I say.
     Teaching by example is what teaches you what is really going on in the world. Is there a job waiting on you? Yes there is. Is there a good job waiting on you? No, there is not. You got to move fast to get that good job and you got to stop thinking about the wrong thing when it is time to play football. Teaching by example teaches you things about the world that people do not want to admit to themselves. That is their weakness. People have a weakness where they don't want to admit certain things to themselves. They don't want to admit that their lazy or their not working hard enough. They don't want to admit that they need to work longer. They don't want to admit that they need money for  bills and not material things. We all need to admit things to ourselves. If we are going to move forward in life, then we all need to be honest with our selves. It is the only way.
     The philosopher denies the "teaching by example" because people are always complaining about things. That contradicts everything you do. Sometimes you feel like you are wasting your time. Other times, you feel you are not wasting your time. Working all the time is bad, but its hard to not work all the time when you these bills scratching your neck.The philosopher is right about one thing, but is wrong by teaching by example. Teaching by example teaches you that you need to do better. You need to figure things out. It is not going to be easy but it never is. Gaining knowledge is something that you need to do. But, money does get in the way of how you gain knowledge. Gaining knowledge to survive seems to be more important then gaining knowledge to die peacefully. It is very hard to answer this question. If you want to live to another day then you have to do some type of work. If you want to live in peace, then you have to believe in something that is fictional. Money only matters in this world. In the next world, money has no value and nobody will care for it. You need money but then you don't need it in the next life. So, it gets very hard to decide which is more important as you get older. Once you get really old then you can focus more on the"learning things to be at peace" part. When your young, you need to focus on making money and stop focusing on stupid stuff.
