my favorite proverbs

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

It means that it is more worthy to teach him to do something than to do it for him.

I found this proverb by chance and at that time, I thought about Japanese volunteer activities because I think that

Japanese volunteer activity is only about giving something. Thus it is difficult to continue for a long time. We have to teach something and it is important.

2, Let him that would be happy for a day, go to the barber, for a week, marry a wife, for a month, buy him a new horse, for a year, build him a new house, for all his lifetime, be an honest man.

I found this proverb also by chance.  In the past, I saw a man who often lied but he said that he was unhappy himself.

I thought that he was not honest. That's why he was unhappy. I wanted to throw this.
