• African Wise Saying
What this Igbo proverb: “ The cricket with short legs must start digging early, for the longer-legged crickets will arrive soon ” is essentially saying is that those who are disadvantaged in some way must work harder and be more proactive in order to compete with others who have an advantage. It is a reminder that persistence and effort are key ingredients to success, and that it's not always about having the most resources or advantages.
