There isn't one of us who hasn't heard the proverb, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'. I can remember the statement often being declared by my father as a child... referring of course to self-reliance, the need for development... yet not in the form of hand outs.the rest of this post is worth checking out here.
It paints a picture of ignorant, hungry people sitting idly beside well-stocked waters, just waiting for the expert to arrive from outside and show them how it's done. A common misconception among the developed world, that they are the hard working, while the poor... simply need to shape up or be left behind.
