To provide - what does that mean?
Harvey said that I could join this special, advanced course provided one thing -- that I would do all the work and report on paper just like everybody else.
This is example from the book "Surely, you're joking mr. Feynman". And I cannnot understand correctly the word PROVIDED.
It seems like "provided" is an ultimatum. I will let you come to the course if you would do all the work.
And guys it will be interesting to me if you give me some examples of the verb "to provide". How you use it on a daily basis? And what the last time you use this word, heard or read? In what situations?
P.S. correct me : ))

I'd say provide is to supply with somethig that is in a lack. To bring food to the table for example, you are providing the money to buy food. Im providing my co-workers with useful information for their project.

Courage is overcoming fear. Courage is found in knowledge and team. My coaches can provide you with both.
I found this on Kiyosaki's twitter. What does "can provide" means in that context?

In that context, it is like an ultimatum. Normally you use 'to provide' like 'to take care of'.
For example, "I provide for my family", "I take care of (or supply) for my family."
