Antes que usted criticar alguien, usted deba andar una milla en sus zapatos. Así, cuando usted criticar ellos, usted es una milla lejos, y usted tiene sus zapatos.

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

"Smiles" es la palabra más larga en inglés porque hay una milla entre los dos eses.

"Smiles" is the longest word in English because there is a mile between the two s's.

(I don't know how to indicate s's in Spanish)
