Liberia: The Jabo

The proverb I chose is "Liberia: The jabo". Each line talks about a different topic and has it's own meaning that relates to life. Such as in the first line which states "One who cannot pick up an ant and wants to pick up an elephant will someday see his folly". It tells us how we shouldn't try and do something big when we can't even handle the little things in life, such as take on a big load. The second quote says "The butterfly that flies among the thorns will tears its wings". So we should not hang with the wrong crowd for they will bring us down and wont be as supportive as our friends and family can be. As it goes on we read that "A man's ways are good in his own eyes" and " Daring is not strength". That something might seam ok or good in ones eyes but to another person they will have there own opinion. We shouldn't try and be "hard" because it doesn't lead to nothing good in life but more problems than before. "Children are the wisdom of the nation" and "The one who listens is the one who understands". Helps us to realize that we are the future of the world and as we get older will be so called idols to the younger generation, as well as the people who take the time to hear our voices and go out of there way for us are the people that can really and truly understand us.
