Title: Teach how to fish, stop giving just fish.
Post by: Rruchi man on November 09, 2024, 10:22:04 PM
You can help a lot more sharing financial knowledge to help make independent than offering financial help to freinds or family members that will make them dependent on you. If you make others dependent on you, you are getting yourself in a position where you will face a lot of disturbances.

True. Giving people fish will result in abuse most of the time and I experienced this situation before and yeah I don't like the consequences. I taught them how to fish but later on it became inconsistent until such time they totally quit and yeah I learned that lesson which leads me to disappointment. Both don't work for them and I told them to find what interest them the most as things I had won't be that effective for them but for me personally I can only allow myself to give fish to my family because they are important to me but for other people I only give chance once if they are not willing to learn how to fish then I stay away from that situation.

take it from me when you only give them money they will never try and make their own because they know as long as you exist they will be fine but you have your own life to worry about too

trust me when i say that you will be making them a favor if you stop just giving people help through financial means every time and instead mentor them into making their own not only does this free up your responsibilities but it also helps them prepare for long term security

I will not blame some people for not revealing their various means for livelihood because they don't want to do so and those they introduced to the system make the whole spoil for them, we know how people can be unpredictable when it comes to them misbehaving, if it would have been only them that will  be affected at the cause couldn't have been a problem, but for someone bringing you in and then the next time is to also stops him from benefiting form that same thing, because at the end of it all, they will both have nithing to depend on and after which everything would habe all scattered beyond measure, because not all people can be trusted.

Empowering people around you will not only be lifting some financial burdens from your shoulders, but you would also be creating for yourself a shoulder to lean on when you face financial difficulties too. Most people don't know that when they have more dependent people around them, it would be straining on their finances, making them financially unstable too just like the dependent people.  There is a sense of satisfaction that comes with having more successful people around you than tons of dependent people.

I agree with you on that because we really need to teach others how to fish and learn how to catch fish themselves than giving them fish always there by creating allot of trouble and expenses for your self, we need to creat wealth for others in that way you are actually reducing load as less people will be depending on you. Infact what makes a successful Man or woman is the number of people that you empower to Stand on their own so if you are privileged to be in a position to grow people we should endeavor to help as much as you can

the problem today is that people are not open to learning. giving them something to live another day, they are not even grateful but are going to complain why the food is not serve in a hot pot. its not really too late to learn even when the person is around 40. but gotta set an expectation that when you are at such age, maybe odd jobs aren't so bad.

teaching should have been done when the individual is younger because this is where he is busy learning.

Pretty correct. If we can teach people close to us how to fish, we will somehow lessen the burden of disturbance of financial aid that we are to face from them.

It's when you don't teach people how to fish that time you will know that human beings can ask for financial aid quite often when they know that someone close to them is doing better financially.

To avoid such occurrences, teaching a friend or close relation how to fish can save a lot of unplanned spending when you are supposed to save and invest for your future.

Due to the unplanned spending for financial aid so many people encountered from their friends, they were not able to expand their businesses because they have people who always call for their financial help all the time. They don't have the mind to turn down their request because they have a good heart to help, but they don't know they are doing themselves bad thing of not teaching their friends or relation how to fish by themselves rather than depending on them all the time

You are right man and I don’t see the reason why you will prefer to be called upon on anything in order to feel Bossy instead of building those around you to be like you. When there are bad days, these people you’ve built can be your backbone to rely on and support you until you’re fully back again. I also don’t like the idea of one been a dependable source for many people, it will drain you and cause you mental strain if you’re not careful. Although, some people may still argue and differ on this and say when you give knowledge for free, people won’t value it and won’t work on it as it should be. But I say, why not ask for some little funds to teach them as a form of commitment from them, it is better they get the knowledge and earn like you rather than coming to you always to ask for the financial help.

I think most family members across the globe does this already. If there's anyone that needs to hear this more, then it's the Government officials and politicians that continues to give free handouts in the hopes of getting a favor (votes) in the future (election). I find it unfair when the middle class taxpayers go to work while the people who made poor decision in life just lie and wait for their monthly financial aid.

You are right and it's the best because when you teach them how to fish, you have removed a burden from you since they will start making money on their own, instead of relying on you even when you don't have extra to give out. Teaching someone how to fish is like setting up someone to become something in life and he will never forget you whenever he thinks of his standard of living.

If we have a good heart, then we will identify this out that its more important that we move together in some situations in life than doing that alone, because we may need our individual shoulders to lean on, but some don't know about this, because life is not what others accept and take as easy and simple as we do, we may have to treat people as according to their trust and affordability on the exposure we are giving.

Empowering someone with knowledge on how to earn a living or income is better than fulfilling the person's financial support. But it should be in a legal(legitimate) way. You will not always be there for the person, or you may sometimes see him as a burden to you. By providing the person with a source of income, it will prevent the person from being a burden to you or dependent on you, it will increase the growth and development of the person's personality, and your responsibilities will be reduced.

Some people don't like telling others what they do that earns them income, because they know what they are doing and cant afford to allow any other who doesn't know its value come and cause distortion over it, well, some will believe also that the best way is for everyone to make his own personal discovery just in other for them to avoid shows like this Ive already mentioned, while some may not even care on what others take on it, they will definitely not hesitate bringing them in.

I think that most of the workers engage in 6-5 jobs and they are been paid for it. With such a job, how do you teach someone to fish? An employed person may only share information with others when a job opening becomes available, but he may not be able to hire the person because he is not the owner of the establishment. However, there may be exceptions. Another reason is that some people work in skilled jobs that require a person with similar skills to excel.

For example, if I own a record label and make money by signing singers, and I have a friend who wants me to teach him how to fish but is not a singer, how can I help him with my craft?

Personally, I agree with you that it is more important to teach dependents how to fish than to constantly provide them with fish. A circle of friends and family can quickly grow if everyone is involved or taught how to fish as you implied.  But my point is that the nature of our jobs can make it difficult to teach or help a friend or family member, even when we want to.

It becomes a bit harder to do that when:
- the guy in need of teaching has no spare time to do that
- the fishing rod cost three times the monthly wage
- there isn't any actual fish in any river in a 100km range
- the guy is allergic to fish

This is what I wanted to express and you nailed it perfectly.

We can give financial advice but people can follow that? They are living in tight economy where there's no room for anything so to do investment or business it is becoming impossible and in that case giving financial help will be a big breather and let them have enough time to work on their plans. Ofcourse we need to do only if we are sure the person is dedicated themselves to make it happen.

This life is somehow in some instance, you can imagine when a person is not even interested in learning something and the beneficiary is willing and ready to let such person understand the benefits from what he is doing, while the other person is not seeing any opportunity there, because where everyone's mind is are quite different from each other, some may not even realized that there is something they may be missing out for not putting interest in learning about something that could change their life.

People give the advice they think it's best and an easy way out, they don't care about analyzing how truly effective this is.
It's easy to say let's stop homelessness by building houses, yeah right, anyone who has worked with homeless people will tell you that's a fraction of the problem, give an unemployed man a job, again easy to say, let's see what happens after a week of work.

Everyone likes giving advice and making it sound more biblical or more philosophical is just another touch to their ego, in reality, if you would need also 5 minutes of actual work besides that advice 99% of those will suddenly stop caring.

Yeah I agree and I believe that as long as there is enough time there is hope. There are even people who made millions of dollars when they are old age. It's just about the willingness to learn new things, dedication and consistency that fuel to reach specific goal in life but nowadays things became more different because majority of the population wanted to get it through luck and easiness in short lazy. Though not all but these people don't want to even try to learn how to get things stable and I know there are also obstacles that is why can't make it for some reason but the key thing here is to never give up.

Yeah, I've heard that quote a lot too. It’s better to teach someone how to manage their finances so they can handle things on their own instead of just giving them money every time they need it. If you keep spoon-feeding them, they’ll just end up relying on you and won’t learn how to stand on their own. Helping them become independent is way more valuable in the long run.

I don't support your view concerning this topic because instead of always giving out money to out to people it's better you settle them by introducing them to the business any making them to stand on their own human being as we know is unpredictable but somebody has to help someone to move to the next level of life so you should not use that one as a yastic not to show those behind you the secret of your success so they can follow suit

We cant be saying things from our own personal opinions without considering what others have been through as well, there are times in which people will personally develop interest in helping us, which we may not have to compel them to do so, but when they feels not to be in the best disposition of giving us the required and latest update about what they are doing to earn money or what we can as well do to earn a living, then we may as well assume our help is not coming from them and push further to other sources.

I agree with you on this that is why we as humans must  do our selves good by engaging in productive ventures so we can become respected members of the society so we don't depends our lives on others even if nobody wants to show you how to fish or give you the secret on how they make money in life

That is for people who has vision and plan in life because the majority of the people that you find around always have this idea of entitlement mentality so once you give them fish they become relaxed and always think that you will give them fish to eat it's only a few who will think of getting them self fish to eat by preparing them self and looking for how to know how to fish so they can have their own fish to eat

Not everyone will take the chance to grow when helped. Some wait for more, while others with vision use it to learn and stand independently. It’s all about mindset those willing to work will benefit most.

To stay out of demands of financial help, teach others how to fish.

You prefer to be bordered on financial help; don't teach others how to fish.

Which of the stated advice is more suitable? To teach others, right?

Teaching others how to fish, is the best thing you can do for someone you like, to let them be self-dependent on themselves than looking out for you, for financial help when you may not have to give to other people, except for taking care of your family members

I totally agreed with you,some people naturally are greedy they keep information to themselves instead of passing it out to help others,instead they prefer giving you little money than helping you to suceed,the good thing making them to be wealthy like you helps to reduce the much loads of spending,they can stand to replace your position whenever your not around,so is good to rise others.

I understand the point that Mr. Act is trying to prove, but I also believe that your (Mr. Agbe) perspective is valid. What Mr. Act mean is that when you help some people escape from darkness or difficult circumstances, they may turn against you and plot evil actions just to bring you down. And he is right about that, because that is what some people will plan to do.

But i believe that if your intentions are pure and you genuinely wish well for others, wanting for them what you want for yourself, and you introduce your way of source of income to them, just for them to benefit as you are benefiting from it, and they become successful just as you are, then your actions will ultimately be rewarded. If you share your knowledge or resources with others, helping them to succeed, and they become successful, but then seek to harm or betray you, their actions will definitely backfire.

As they said "we rise by lifting others". so it is advisable for you to show someone how he is going to be making is own money in a legal way, rather than giving him money every time he requested for it. So that he can become self sufficient, he will stop relying on you and learn to be independent, freeing you from the burden of supporting him.

If you teach someone to fish teach the most basic like finding a job of their own. Lucky for them that someone is teaching them because when I was a kid, I was just lost in the dark waiting for someone to guide me, I just learn how things work when finally my sisters husband came thanks to him and teach me to fix computers, change car tires and drive a car.

If it weren't for him, I could be working for construction company managed by a foreman who only pays me half the minimum wage.

Yeah, you're lucky to have someone guide you. Learning on your own takes way more time, and some people even have to pay for vocational schools just to get those skills. Having someone teach you saves a lot of struggle.

The good thing here is that he is dedicated to learn and that knowledge change everything. And that is the opposite of my story actually since I was a college drop out and instead I enrolled on to computer related courses through a vocational school but that ended up nothing but just a waste of time and money as well because after that I worked in a job not related to my course and since I don't have enough time to practice to refresh that skill I lost that skill as I became outdated and sad to say I forgot things from that course. That is why I came here on this forum to find more knowledge so I can use them to make money.

I have seen such an event a few times so everyone should teach other people how to catch fish if you can catch fish. In addition to financial assistance you can also help people by giving some knowledge if you want. Whenever if you giving fish again and again then he will come to you again and again in the future and it may be a burden to you. I knew nothing when i was young but i learned a lot from the family. I couldn't run a computer at one time but now i can do that because someone has taught me to run a computer. So if you teach someone to fish, they should be given the most primary education as to find their own work.

Apart from that, he would learn in a very easy way because he is mostly with his teacher doing the practicals and been guided. It's the best to share eith your friends and family the knowledge and skill in you to help them develop themselves. My close friend taught me a skill that I used in making the first big money I have ever come across in life then.

Apart from that, he would learn in a very easy way because he is mostly with his teacher doing the practicals and been guided. It's the best to share eith your friends and family the knowledge and skill in you to help them develop themselves. My close friend taught me a skill that I used in making the first big money I have ever come across in life then.

A close friend would do and you both could enjoy since youre both at certain level. A father would have been better especially when a father teaches his son to even just cook a sunny side up egg on a pan. The son will already be looking up to him like he can do much better in life.

Its always our father who makes life easy for the kid and teaches him how to fish in the river or even teaches him how to decide on things. Teaching someone how to decide is one of the basics but some are actually finding it hard to make a final decision.

I have seen such an event a few times so everyone should teach other people how to catch fish if you can catch fish. In addition to financial assistance you can also help people by giving some knowledge if you want. Whenever if you giving fish again and again then he will come to you again and again in the future and it may be a burden to you. I knew nothing when i was young but i learned a lot from the family. I couldn't run a computer at one time but now i can do that because someone has taught me to run a computer. So if you teach someone to fish, they should be given the most primary education as to find their own work.
It is always good that you teach others how to catch fish because it is always good and beneficial as it will help you to lift the burden of always people depending on you for survival which could be burden some to you so the best thing you could do to people around you is to show them the way by way of giving people around you basic information about what they can do to stand on their own, helping people stand on their own is the best thing that you could do for any man

Some people fail to realize that when those around them are empowered, they are also empowered because those people will no longer rely on them, and there will be no pressure on them to provide because everyone can provide for himself or herself.

There is no forming when people rely on a specific person, but unfortunately, some people simply want to be the center of attention and worship, where others must rely heavily on them, so they are afraid of empowering others for the fear that they could measure up.

You can help a lot more sharing financial knowledge to help make independent than offering financial help to freinds or family members that will make them dependent on you. If you make others dependent on you, you are getting yourself in a position where you will face a lot of disturbances.
Teach people how to fish, stop giving fish.

Very much true if a person is given a fish or fishes he eats it as a meal and he becomes hungry and begins to demand for more fishes, Buy when he or she is taught the ways, the skills and secrets to fishing he not only appreciate you he also wouldn't need to meet you for fishes anymore. This simply means that as individual always show you guys and friends the way, because if you don't they simply turn you into their personal money bank, always asking money from you every now and then, which might end up constituting a disturbance to you and even your family if you have any. Let's learn from this guy's. Shalom

Well said, stinginess in sharing knowledge or showing other s the way may seem nice at the beginning, however at the end that individual will be under a lot of pressure from family and friends for financial assistance  all as a result of his or her stinginess. So let's teach others to fish rather than just giving them fish, i.e at every given opportunity let's help others if possible to attain the feet you are or that which is closer to it.

I don't even understand the reason why people will not share information that will change the life of people around them because been greedy with life changing information is the most greedy thing that any one could do because if you are someone that is doing well and the people around you are not growing it means that you are a failure because your ability to lift people around you is what actually makes you a great person so it is always a great thing to share information that will lead to the financial status of people being changed for tbe better

One of the reasons I learned why some people like to withhold some information that would change the financial status of someone they know is that they don't want that person they know to be like them ''financially". They want the person to be serving them so that they will command respect, and won't drag authority with such a person.

However, I see such a reason as stupid one. Helping someone you know to achieve financial independence is a good thing for someone who has a conscience and love for someone he or she calls a friend.

What makes you a successful man or woman is a function of the number of people that you have been able to raise around you if you are someone who has financially buoyant and well to do and the people around you are still struggling financially then it shows that you are a failure and not done well because the day that person will have problems no body around his circle will be able to help and that will be the downfall of that person, but if you build people around you in terms of giving them the business strategy and teach them how to go about it and the people truly followed through a make it at the end of the day you will find out that people around you are are also made so even if you have problems the probability of you standings up is high

Exactly, what makes an individual a successful man or woman depend on the number of people that you have been able to raise. As a saying goes "WE RAISE BY LIFTING OTHERS". If you have pure intention towards people, that intention of yours will also be a way for you to progress. Whatever you wish for someone either positively or negatively will also fall back to you. If you provide a source of income for someone that rely on you, it will also benefit you because whatever amount you use to sustain the person, you may use it for other things. The person will stop depending on you and he will not be a burden to you again.
