It is always a good idea to practice what you preach. When you practice what you preach you have a great amount of insight when discussing a topic. If you do not, people lose all credibility and doubt in your work and discussions. You end up proving to be ignorant and uninformed, while becoming the person not many would come to for advice.
Practicing a little would give you proportional knowledge within the industry, not necessarily becoming an expert but knowing enough to develop you own thoughts and thinking, becoming the person people would come to for advice. People would see you as a humble person while also knowledgeable. We see it in many situations whereby people tend to sell themselves incorrectly at interviews and find them not competent for the job. This lack of competency leads to embarrassment and a negative reputation on you as a person and the people involved. Not being comfortable enough to practice what you preach could be incredibly dangerous as you would not be able to back statements and arguments made, making yourself look like a complete idiot. People make statements in the media that affect their image negatively. Saying too much could cause confusion while remaining practical and to the point could solve many issues.
A famous man who has been consistent in the media once said, “I will never commit suicide, I will rather kill myself first”. This man should have not said as much as he has but rather practicing what he says. If you make a statement with confidence, people will always wonder if you are capable of doing it or if you have done it, and seen as an expert in the field.
It is better to practice a little than to talk allot, as practicing would guarantee some form of information while talking a lot does not benefit you nor others around.
