Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Celebrate the tradition of opening day of fishing season @ Time’s Tin Cup !

授人以魚,不如授人以漁

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Many believe that is a quote from the Bible. It is not. It is actually a Chinese Proverb that teaches knowledge is the best charity. The quote is from a Chinese philosopher dating back to 4th century BC, Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu was known as “the Old Master” and is credited with teachings of honor. He is also credited with being the founder of Taoism.
