Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon – EM Forster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Apparently, this quote is not from any of Forster’s novels, stories or published writings, but was made public in the column “Sayings of the Week” in the UK newspaper “The Observer” on October 7, 1951.” – Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon. – Quote of the Day – English – The Free Dictionary Language Forums, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If someone is persistently feeding you… you never learn to feed yourself. Likewise, if you are given what you need, you don’t learn to earn what you need. If you are told what you want to know, you will never learn to research and find what you want for yourself. “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish…. he’s fed for life. And you can get rid of him on weekends.”” – What does spoonfeeding, in the long run, teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon mean? | Yahoo Answers, https:\/\/goo.gl\/9xNbvc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
