यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः । स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते

Sanskrit

श्रेष्ठ मनुष्य जो-जो आचरण करता है, दूसरे मनुष्य वैसा-वैसा ही आचरण करते हैं। वह जो कुछ प्रमाण  देता है,  दूसरे मनुष्य उसीके अनुसार आचरण करते हैं।

Whatsoever a great man does, that the other men also do; whatever he sets up as the standard, that the world (mankind) follows.

Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 3 3.21

Sanskrit: public domain · Hindi tr. Swami Ramsukhdas · English tr. Swami Sivananda

What it means

Whatever the people you admire do, others quietly follow — so set the example.

Carry it today

Do one thing today as if someone who looks up to you is watching.
