Somewhere (I thought it was on this forum but I can't find any mention of it), I saw a quote in someones sig, and this quote would illustrate a point I'm trying ot make, here at work. It's something like train a man to do something ... but involve a man...
(obviously, I can't remember the dots bit!) It's not the quote about feed a man... teach a man to fish... Anyone know the quote I'm referring to? Many thanks |

Was it....
Build a man a fire and he will return when it dies but set the man on fire and he will not bother you again? ![]() |

Err, no.
But I can't help thinking I could use that quote on pretty-well a daily basis! ![]() |

I think the one you want is:
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day (or he'll eat for a lifetime, but the first one makes more sense) |
