[Repeat] On being 'mabait': a quote from Benjamin Franklin

This was originally posted on February 3, 2004 (2/3/4!). If I may add to this a quote (although possibly off-topic) from Edmond Burke: "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

I read this from "If I really wanted to SIMPLIFY MY LIFE I would..." from Lighthouse Books. It's a great simple little book! =)

"When you do for a man what he can and should do for himself, you do him a disservice." - Benjamin Franklin

Though I am going to expound on this topic (being "mabait") in a later post, can I say this: Teachers, you're not doing service to your students if you give them a passing grade that they do not deserve!
