If he recites many teachings, but
--heedless man--
doesn't do what they say,
like a cowherd counting the cattle of
others,
he has no share in the contemplative life.
-Dhammapada, 1, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

Should one practice what one preaches? Perhaps, but it is the nature of human beings that what they say is oftentimes so different from what they do. If anything; through process of self-examination, one should arrive at a thorough understanding of what one really does. Then, based upon that underderstanding, one should preach.
What one speaks says very little about one's reality; what one does says everything.
