Never offer to teach a fish to swim.

Summary

This quote is a playful way of emphasizing the importance of recognizing one's expertise and not wasting time or effort on trying to teach something or someone that is already capable. Just as fish are naturally adept at swimming, it is unnecessary and pointless to offer to teach them how to do what they already excel at. The quote reminds us to utilize our skills and knowledge wisely, focusing on areas where they are truly needed or can make a difference, rather than wasting resources on unnecessary tasks.
