Give A Man A Fish And You Feed Him For A Day; Teach A Man To Fish And You Feed Him For A Lifetime

This beneficial kind of quote is really meaningful. It is very important to fulfil some-ones need on the spot, but it will be more positive to make him able to fulfil his need himself. It will help a lot in making life good to best, not only of the person but for the whole society.

This quote is by Maimonides who was a medieval Jewish philosopher with considerable influence on Jewish thought. According to it, we want to make people independent, not depending upon others, we try our best to help them in finding some job or way of earning their living. In this way, we do a commendable job by making them independent. 

 

Teaching a person some useful skill can be more beneficial in the long run than filling a need for them temporarily, that’s basically the meaning of this proverb. If we help someone and give something, that can fulfil his need is not bad but to make him habitual of this help will make him dependent on us. On the other hand, if we help him in establishing some work or helping him in providing some job, it will make him independent. It will be more desirable.

 

The real help is to make a person able to achieve his livelihood himself. It will not be an easy thing in reality. To guide someone to try to earn something is important but cannot be successful all the time. In this process, our help can be helpful for him. In some cases, where having a job or some work is not easy or possible, the importance of charity is established. It is a divine system where the people who need our help are there. Where there is any possibility available, it will be commendable to help in making people independent, free from the charity.

 

If we flourish this wisdom in the world, it can do miracles. It is relevant with the reference almost all over the world; not only at an individual level but at the national or state level. In this way, we can make countries really independent, free from all kinds of pressures.

He wants to say in it that it is not important to have a special position or important place, but more important is to perform well in every position you have.

Abraham Lincoln was a very famous and beloved president of America. We know that in that important position in this world. If in this influential position, one tries to be a good one, then definitely he will be a good person with a very positive mindset.

This effort will make not only our lives, in the right direction but also create a good impact on our surroundings. This is the crux of this beautiful saying.

It will definitely encourage others to follow him by doing something good. If in all fields, people will do good, then there must be a positive change in the whole society.

 

If parents become better parents by doing something special, children try to become better children by doing some good, teachers try to be good teachers, factory workers work better and all other people strive to achieve a higher level of performance, then the lives of individual level, familial level, upper level and governmental level. In this way, we can develop our whole society, which is a high achievement.

Sometimes The People With The Worst Past, Create The Best Future

“Sometimes the people with the worst past, create the best future” is one of the quotes by Hazrat Umar Ibn Al-Khattab. It means that the time doesn’t remain the same. We must not remain all the time, in the same condition. We can make our lives from good to best, with the help of prayers, effort and hard work.

 

It is observed commonly that the condition of the people doesn’t remain the same. It is variable with respect to the divine will, the strategies the person adopts, the prevalent social conditions and the nature of the person. It is proved true in the case of the originator of this quote. He was a different person altogether, before his acceptance of Islam. He became a totally new person and proved to be a great Muslim leader, afterwards. He proved his quotation word by word.

 

We see these examples all around us. It is observed that the families, who are not well off, worldly or spiritually, became well off in the next generation. What was the history behind this drastic change? They struggled a lot to uplift their condition. They had to face a lot of hardships in their lives to get their desired position.

 

This quotation is true in its original form and it is also proved factual in its revers form, which establishes its truthfulness. There are so many examples of people who belong to well-established families but they could not restore their status. The reasons behind this change can be so many including; the children of these families are enjoying very good economic and social conditions. They did not require to strive for better conditions. With the passage of time, they became habitual of not striving for anything. Then ultimately they lost their desire to strive for betterment. So, in this way, their backward journey started.

 

It is in our own interest to strive for a better position, with respect to spiritual status, economic condition and social set-up. To plan and do a purposeful effort to achieve the desired position, is essential. Devine support is an integral part of this process, so, we have to strive for this ultimate support.

Well Done Is Better Than Well Said

“Well Done is Better Than Well Said” is a quote by Benjamin Franklin. Well said and well done both are good and positive. Whatever is said well or done well has a good impact not only on the person, who is saying or doing it but also for those who listen or get the benefit of that. It is the fact that it is relatively easy to say something good than to do beneficial work. In both ways, we can make a positive change in our surroundings.

This quote is also explained by Steve Hoffacker that actions speak louder than words. It means that the effects of actions are more powerful than mere words. If actions are strengthened by words, then these have the most powerful effects.

 

Words are effective, but only words are not enough to make a change, good or bad. Actions are required more than mere words. We see sometimes words affect strongly and create drastic changes in people’s lives. Behind many influential social and economic changes, the words of some influential personalities are working. In some other examples, it is proved that only words create no miracle as Steve Hoffacker explains this quote by saying “Actions speak louder than words.” It means that actions are more influential than merely saying something.

 

This quote also says that we can make a change in a better way by doing something rather than only saying it through words. So, to say is an easy task than to do something valuable by our actions.

 

If our words are supported by our actions, these may produce a great change in our surroundings just like our prophets, who say their teachings in an impressive way and they also acted upon these teachings as well. In this way, they change a lot of people in the desired way. The special effect in their case is the special help of our creator.

 

We must adopt the best way of speaking that may affect others in a positive way and we also try to the actions which are also impressive, that can produce a valuable impact.
