Learning how to fish

4 year old to self: HELP! I can’t get this trike turned around on the carpet. I need to get it to the wood floor and I need you to do it for me.
Self to 4 year old riding trike in the house: How did that tricycle get in here?
4 year old: I think the dog brought it in.
Self: Never mind. Just get off of it, turn it around with your hand and push it off the carpet.
4 year old: I can’t do it, I need you to do it for me.
Self: You can try to do it and then next time you’ll know what to do. I know you can do it.
4 year old: I can’t!!!
Self: Just try.
4 year old: No, you do it for me.
Self: Then you’ll never learn how to do it so you can help yourself when I’m not available.
4 year old: I don’t care, I want you to do it for me.

Self suddenly remembering a conversation with Cricket of GNC Web Creations:
Self: Cricket, I need some help getting my web traffic up. Can you help me come up some high traffic phrases that fit my audience?
Cricket: Smiles (always smiling at me she is), I’ll show you how to do it and then you can do it yourself.
Self: I’ve scratched my head so long it hurts, I’d really like some help thinking outside the box.
Cricket: Read these articles and check these forums, they will give you some ideas. Also look at these web groups. Keep trying! You’re doing a great job.
Self: You mean you won’t help me even if I pay you?
Cricket: Because I truly care about the success of your business you really need to learn how to do it yourself. Now go back and re-read every post word for word so you can start fishing.
