The Timeless Wisdom of African Sayings and Proverbs. 1.”Teeth do not see poverty”. Even when circumstances are dire, people still manage to find something to smile about. 2.”Only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet”. Don’t leap into a situation without first thinking about the consequences. 3.”Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped”. Rather than dwelling on your mistake, look at what caused you to make the mistake. 4.”The best way to eat an elephant is to cut him up into little pieces”. The best way to solve a problem is to tackle it bit by bit, one step at a time. 5.”He who does not know one thing knows another”. No one can know everything but everyone knows something. 6.”Rain beats the leopards skin but it does not wash out the spots”. No matter how hard you try, you cannot change another person’s character. Similarly, if you behave badly and develop a poor reputation, it’s difficult to change other people’s opinions of you, regardless of how many good deeds you perform. 7.”No matter how hot your anger is, it cannot cook yams”. While anger can prompt a positive action that may resolve an issue, the act of getting angry resolves nothing. 8.”A roaring lion kills no game”. Sitting around and talking about something gains nothing. The saying also implies that you should work towards your goals quietly rather than bragging about your achievements prematurely 9.”Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle”. Do not disrespect or insult someone who shares your burdens and responsibilities or who takes care of you. 10.”Rain does not fall on one roof alone”. Trouble does not discriminate. It comes to everyone at some point. 11.”Ears that do not listen to advice, accompany the head when it is chopped off”. A person who does not heed advice will suffer the consequences. 12.”Not everyone who chased the zebra caught it, but he who caught it, chased it”. To achieve a result one must put in effort. #blackhistory #knowthyself #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryfacts https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkZiqUDKCaKqlUt4S4vWH0IovnClTfoSvlDVU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 17: Cory DaVante Williams AKA CoryXKenshin Occupation: YouTuber SAMURAI STAND UP!!! CoryXKenshin is without question, one of the greatest YouTubers on God’s green earth. Known mostly for his horror game playthroughs (most notably his playthroughs involving The Five Nights At Freddy’s series) and his Spooky Scary Sunday series (that sometimes drops on weekdays lol), Cory has amassed over 15 million subscribers and has built such a strong community, that he can disappear for months without a trace, then come back and drop bangers like it’s nothing. The fact that he’s in school, doing other projects in the background, and editing his content on his own says that he is a league above most YouTubers. Every time Cory drops, it’s like a holiday, and the views speak for themselves. S/N: I’m gonna meet this man one day. He’s part of the reason I started my own YouTube and started streaming. What a huge inspiration. 🙏🏽 #blackhistory365 #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #cartoons #videogames #anime #contentcreator #contentcreation #content #editing #skits #pictures #thumbnails #memes #blackcontentcreators #digitalcontent #streaming #gaming #podcasting #livestreaming #kthacreator #explore #explorepage #corykenshin https://www.instagram.com/p/Cow5667OKFL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
