TFR (Thanks for reponse) ...
why should one expect or enforce his/her advise when one himself coudn't make things the way he/she is preaching? ok one point no one was there to advise but still, is not justifiable.. its better to just give zero advise.
Relationship - other person impossible, fair point, but then while advising make such disaclaimers. Still whatever be the reason preaching shouldn't be based on disclaimers.
Doctor - Explain the exceptions to patinet rather then making big statements.
Investors - Well, I know few who believed in thier gut feeling and failed, but what they advise is different,
Learn from one's mistake, valid point, make that clear, accept the mistake and then preach. Still if one doesn't succeed in some task or action for XYZ reasons has not right force his thoughts. There are shouldn't be any excuses for failures but acceptance that one lacked or lacks doing the right thing.
Raj, are you complaining about UNSOLICITATED advice ?
Why would one go to the doctor / the shrink / financial advicer and not want their advice? 
No! I am saying why qualify for advise when not followed by adviser.

There is nothing immoral if a parent drinks and advises his son not to. Same way nothing wrong if a Prof. spends his time watching TV and preaches his pupil not to. A fat doctor can advise the patient to control diet and lose weight.
In this argument I don't have an answer to WHY? I just think it is not immoral. It is just a good advise for someone's betterment. Someone who went to these people for advise.
It looks like unwarranted preaching when someone with no relation out of blue starts advising you on what and what not to do.
Parents and kids different issues, yet not justifiable, but here am saying ideal person who is qualified to give advise on heathy living, tells pupils not to drink after 2 large shots is immoral. Even parents change themselves for kids.. separate discussion.
"It looks like unwarranted preaching when someone with no relation out of blue starts advising you on what and what not to do. " - right no one qualified him/her to seek advise from, only saying is a pro in his/her field and preaches what he/she doesn't follow is
