Our education from primary school to university is all about example, not example. If teaching by example is more important than words, it can only be said that the education model all over the world is completely wrong.
There is an idiom: lead by example, why did the ancients put the example before the example?
Setting an example is limited by time, place, occasion and opportunity, which may be far from being achieved. Since it can't be achieved, what is its significance? Please don't run away from this possible situation.
