*🌴Peace be upon you all.*

      

*If you can walk you can dance.*

*If you can talk , you can sing.*

    *____________________*

   ```AFRICAN PROVERB```

 

*Meaning: Here is another wise saying of our elders in Africa! It is not only a proverbial saying but also motivational message. There are two ways we can explore this saying. The general way is to take it literally. Think about it for a moment. What does it take to dance? It takes movement of the body. Thus, if you can move your body, you certainly can dance. Notice, the proverb is not saying if you can walk you can dance like an expert. It simply says you can dance. In any case if you can do a simple dance, you can train to do a sophistated dance. Like another proverb put it, nothing is so difficult that diligence cannot master it. But certainly this proverb is not only about dancing or singing. Here is a deeper meaning: moving your body is fundamental to dancing just as opening your mouth is fundamental to singing. In effect the proverb is saying that if you know the basics of something you have the potential to do the complicated. If you know the basic principles of algebra, you have the potential to solve calculus problems. Be fired-up!*

*🌴Peace be upon you all.*

      

*The teeth are smiling*

*but how about the heart?*

    *____________________*

   ```AFRICAN PROVERB```

 

*Meaning: This proverb cautions us against two groups of people. The first group are the hypocrites and sycophants. In this regard, it teaches us that a smiling face is not always a reflection of a joyous heart. A smiling face could be a cover-up of a wicked heart. The fact that a person laughs with you does not mean they love you. The fact that a person smiles with you does not mean you are safe to share your problems with them. Don't be deceived! The person you think is a friend can be a fiend in disguise. The other group of people this proverb speaks about are: suffering and sick people. Some people put on smiles not because they deliberately want to put on a false appearance but because they are trying to be happy. They do not want others to pity them. Parents must know their children well enough to know when their smile is a concealment of an emotionally sick heart. A leader must realize when his followers are only putting up a front to hide their suffering. And a doctor must look beyond a patient's smiling face to realize if the patient is pretending in order to avoid medication. Be precautionary!*
