"Give a man a fish,and you'll feed him for a day, teach him how to fish by himself and you'll feedhim for a lifetime."

 

This proverb has resonatedwith me since my early student life. As a researcher, it pushes me to striveand keep an inquisitive mind, enabling me to understand more profoundly thiscollective existence we experience. As a teacher, I go by it hoping to pass onthe skills and motivation that would help learners to carve their independentpaths.
