Do Not Teach a Man to Fish(?)
LinkedIn is a very useful tool in the biz world, especially in Cambodia.
I came across this article, and wonder if this is applicable to Cambodians?

Re: Do Not Teach a Man to Fish(?)
As soon as I read that, I thought of a lot of the loser barangs here. I have VERY little empathy left for someone who has wasted their opportunities in the west, then have come over here and expect me to go fishing and give them a fish every day, while they spend what little they have on drugs, booze and cheap sex,because they have NO inclination to learn how to fish for themselves.

@Hotdigr, I didn't even consider the expatriates here, or the foreigners that stay short term, or ANY foreigners for that matter.
I suppose that when you do take a step back, there are so many groups In Cambodia that this article would apply to.
I was thinking more along the lines of the "Poor/Homeless/Beggar" local community in places like the riverside, or at the major intersections like Monivong & Sihanouk, Russian & Monivong, Mao Tse Toung & Monireth and so on.

Re: Do Not Teach a Man to Fish(?)
I understand where you are coming from mate, that was just my 1st thought. Generally, I find the average Khmer a LOT more capable of looking after himself ( Knowing how to fish) then a lot of the barang I meet (just give me 1 fukn fish - PLEASE), particularly the losers in PP. Just my observation.VLayHo-ho-ho wrote:@Hotdigr, I didn't even consider the expatriates here, or the foreigners that stay short term, or ANY foreigners for that matter.
