What is the best way to help people?

It depends on the person capacity and ability to work. If the person is too old or disable, how can we teach them to fish... Helping people is not an obligation, but one of the purpose in our life and existence.

There are many ways we can help others. And I would also think that it depends on the case and situation. Not every situation is the same, and therefore we will deal with these situation differently.

I think help comes in many ways. Some would need to learn how to fish, others just need the fish.It is hard to gauge what a person needs!

When at work, I was always willing to help others, and it was my pleasure to see colleagues growing up to be conpetent in their jobs. Encouragement and a helping hand usually gives an important kick out. Now that I am retired, my way of helping is often a seasonal greeting and understanding call and in return I receive great complement to my inner heart.

I think if some one needs helps during emergency is worth helping..but helping a person who is healthy, fit and fine for the reason that he or she is lazy..is not fair..otherwise one must help one another when someone is in need..

What is the best way to help people You can give a smile as one walk alone, Speak kind words, give what you can share.

It is definetly better to teach someone how to do something. If you keep helping someone and not showing then how to do things on their own you are keeping them dependent on you. That's not too cool your not really helping them as much as you could. Unless you think that the someone that your teaching can not handle the knowledge that you give them thats something different. Like the boss cant teach everyone everything or else he wouldnt be the boss anymore they would take him over. But as long as nobody is trying to take your place it is good to teach someone how to do something.

By seeing what they need, there are people that wants to do what they themselves want, we must see what the one who is going to be helped want. Like a guy is alone for example and his friend keeps setting him up with girls when he could be brokenhearted by an ex for example, so that's not helping because the guy want to be alone for a while, so we must see what they say and want for the time being.

The best way to help someone is to help him at the moment with whatever you can. I think it is very important for hits hand on the man to whom he makes now. I think it's better to say or will help you or not. like you said I will show him how to fish and will teach him the next time you know. nice day!

you can't help people if they not allowing themselves to help we know according to our conscience if who is the right candidate person are truly deserving for help, by giving fish to a hunger people is not a good idea, yesterday, a fishnet is a good to give to someone to help himself, but today, a fishnet to lend is for rent.... he must work 6 days a week in order to each receive a fruit out of patience for 1 day, and he or she will not hunger for a week...

Well, when you help out someone, you're basically teaching them too anyway. I tend to help people when I have the chance and I always do it through volunteering. I reckon volunteering is the best way to help people out, not only does it benefit the people you're helping but you get some experience while you're at it. When you give something to someone and then leave, you're not teaching them anything, you have to give them something but teach them at the same time. People can't just rely on generosity and being given things in order to survive, they need to learn or be motivated to look out for themselves. I actually did this volunteer work with a few people with a disability. I got to draw pictures and make bracelets and have conversations with them, it was a very rewarding experience. Helping someone isn't just about giving them something they need and then waking away. It's more than that and like you said you have to teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for life.

I think the best way to help people is by giving your best potential and helping wholeheartedly without counting the cost. It is better to give than to receive. It somehow make us feel the fulfillment of our lives when we were able to share our blessings,talents and capabilities to those who are in need.
