Wolof Language (Senegal)
Ku muñ, mucc
Translation:
The one who endures succeeds.
What’s the knowledge?
Endurance is often the quiet force behind remarkable achievements. Many people see the finished result but rarely see the years of repetition, rejection, uncertainty and effort that produced it.
Persistence does not guarantee that every endeavour will succeed, but meaningful achievements often require the ability to remain committed through difficulty.
This proverb sourced from the Wolof Language of Senegal teaches one that endurance gives worthy efforts the time they need to become results.
