We all know the old saying, "Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for the day, teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for life." There is much wisdom in this teaching, as it is as old as time itself. Yet, though there is some truth to this saying, it's not "the" truth. It's obvious that the man being handed the fish is at an extreme disadvantage and probably living below his potential.
However, I want to focus more on the man that's been taught to fish. We have always been told that he is the wise one. Now that he has learned to fish for himself, he no longer is dependant on anyone to give him anything. He can go out and earn a living comparable to his skill set. He can write his own check...or can he? The truth is that the one taught to fish does not have much more of an advantage over the one given a fish.
