There’s a dark saying: If you teach someone how to fish, you’ll soon lose your value to them； Giving someone a fish means they will come to you crying once they’ve eaten it. Some experienced teachers might joke around with you and treat you like a brother, but when you ask them for key operational tips, they tend to be evasive or use various theories to say that it’s very simple and easy to understand, refusing to reveal the actual details and leaving it up to you to figure it out on your own. So, what’s your opinion of masters who keep something back? 1. It’s understandable that someone can’t teach you something if they don’t possess that skill themselves. 2.

To be honest, an individual either doesn’t take apprentices, or if they do, they teach them everything they know. As for the issue of keeping a backdoor strategy, it’s also a reality that exists in practice. Often, it happens that once the apprentice has learned the skills, the master loses his value. Of course, this phenomenon usually occurs in companies filled with intrigue and factionalism, where conflicts exist precisely because of such rivalries.
