A Philosophy for Life

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime.
Beat him to death with the fish and you'll never have to go fishing with him again - ever!

Fables

From The Tortoise and The Hare:
original moral - many people have good natural abilities which are ruined by idleness; on the other hand, sobriety, zeal and perseverance can prevail over indolence

today's moral - in this age of mediocracy, the hare didn't lose, he was just the 2nd winner!
