Hand out- Give a man a fish and he will eat for only that day..
Hand up- teach a man to fish and he will eat for life.
Hand up is better because that person learns to become self reliant.
Have a great day!!!

A hand out may only help a person for maybe a single time, a hand up can help a person be self sufficient for a lifetime.
It as in the old saying: Give a person a fish, they eat for a day, teach them how to fish, and they eat for a lifetime.
A handout is dependency, a hand up is helping someone to help them self.

I'd prefer a hand up, as long as my legs are not cut out from under me when I take the first few steps because I might be competition.

Hand Out = "Slap me Five"
Hand Up = "Nazi Salute"

"a hand out" is perceived as "enabling" someone to be dependent. "a hand up" is perceived as helping one gain his footing again. big difference.

hand out generally refers to lazy low lifes, always wanting something for nothing, hand up refers to the population that is asking for assistance, where it may or may not be given...
