Yo, today's QOD is Help people to Help Themselves. Here we go. Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host, Sean Croxon and Sean Croxon.com.

We got Reverend Ike on the show wrapping up the week.

Today, the Reverend's going to talk about teaching people to fish instead of just giving

them the fish. Reverend Ike's coming up.

Don't carry any dead bucks, B-U-T-T-S.

Through life.

Say with me, it's not my responsibility to carry any dead weight through life. Say with me, it's not my responsibility to carry any dead weight through life.

Come on. It is not my responsibility to carry any dead weight through life.

You see, self-responsibility is really the only responsibility that you have.

And when you try to be responsible for somebody else,

you hurt yourself and you don't really help the person.

You've only truly helped other people

when you can make them aware of their own self-responsibility

and help them to live up to their own self-responsibility and help them to live up

to their own self-responsibility.

You don't help your children as they grow up by letting them more and more become a weight on you.

You should more and more teach a weight on you, you should more and more teach them

self-responsibility.

Self-sufficiency, self-direction, and self-discipline. Don't let your relatives come

and live with you on and on and on for nothing.

Do you have relatives somewhere else who want to come and live with you?
