Teach how to fish, stop giving just fish.

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.

[_act_]

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.
