Dear Steemit friends.

Today I found a nice adage and it's nice to share with you here on steemit.

" Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. "

It's good to teach someone to do something (for themselves) than to do it for them.

This expression is just part of the full proverb, If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day; If you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. It focuses on the idea that long-term benefits are more useful than short-term benefits.

That's right. Thank you for commenting.

I remember back then in high school we used to recite this adage everyday as a reminder. We need to get things done on our own to be on a parrllel line with perfect. Nice body of work 😌🙏🏽

That's nice. Thank you for commenting.
