"Kuneh sa xetti tubeye doi nala fone" - Olof Njie. Roughly meaning: 'pleasant or unpleasant, each to the smell of his own trousers.'
Apparently, a lot of us have senses that can detect everyone else's but our own odour. So we tend to be good at offering advices but hardly able to show that we could actually do any better. If we're told or shown, most of us get easily offended, upset or feel hurt, because we're unreasonably sensitive to the taste of our own medicine (criticism).
I don't know if that's a good thing, but I know it is good to be mindful of the fact that one day, your own thing that you hide, or treat without sufficient attention and careful heed will transform into a serpent and bite you.
