Answer:

It can be more beneficial in the long run to teach a person how to do something than to do that something for them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: My friend Brian orders takeout food almost every day because he doesn’t know how to cook. Doing this for so long has burned a hole in his wallet. So I decided to give the man a fish (figuratively speaking) by teaching him how to cook.
