Simplified Meaning:
If you want to stop bad behavior or dishonesty in others, you need to make sure you are not doing those same bad things yourself. Imagine a teacher telling students not to cheat on a test, but then that teacher cheats too; it would be hard for the students to respect and follow the teacher's rules. Throughout history, leaders who have demanded honesty and fairness but acted corruptly themselves have often faced pushback and loss of trust. To really change things and set a good example, you have to walk the talk and show others the right way by your own actions. This advice can be used in daily life: if you want your friends to be truthful, always be honest yourself. Doing so helps earn their trust and encourages them to act honestly too.
