Quote by Confucius

Give a bowl of rice to a man and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to grow his own rice and you will save his life.

Give a bowl of rice to a man and you will feed him for a day

Summary

This quote highlights the significance of education and self-sufficiency in helping others. By merely giving someone a bowl of rice, it temporarily relieves their hunger for a day. However, teaching them the skills to cultivate their own rice empowers them with the ability to sustain themselves for a lifetime. It emphasizes the importance of imparting knowledge and practical skills to enable individuals to become self-reliant and lead fulfilling lives, rather than solely relying on handouts for survival.

Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
