Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he'll be sittin' in a boat or on the shore of some lake or river/stream for hours on end hoping to catch a fish. I think that's how it goes.
My dad always said to have a friend help you do something only if they had a strong back and a weak mind.
"If you have a weak mind, you better have a strong back" Sounds like something out of the CCC camps, no?
