Proverbs to live by.
I only recognized a few, because I didn't grow up in Jamaica.
My mother taught me "never to hang my basket higher than I can reach it," meaning: don't live above your means.
That's a powerful proverb, thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, Alex. Loving your content since finding it yesterday.

These proverbs brings back memories and we remember our birth place the good old Jam Down smile
I really enjoyed this video. It brought back memories and gave me some new ones. My favourite growing up was stories. Anancy, big boy, puss etc. my father always told this one about a cat who didn’t want anyone to talk to him saying he is his own man but when he became hungry he would come around saying “ mumma yu call me?😂”
"No mek yu lef han know wha yu right han a do" meaning: not everyone (even those closest to you) needs to know everything you are doing or purpose to do.
First of all, some of those proverbs I am just hearing about. Nice to refresh my memory. Dwl
Thanks for watching
I learned some new ones
Bring a lot of memories. As a child grows up in Jamaica
You left out one more. "Cow nuh know use a 'im tail till it drop a grung. Translation, cow don't know the use of his tail until it drops to the ground. Meaning, you don't realize what you have until you lose it.
I like and appreciate this video, thanks.
Brought back so many memories of my parents ❤️

Hi Elite Jamaican, Number 6 on your list also means, "I want all the benefits, but don’t want to work for them."----Mi cum yah fi drink milk, mi nuh cum yah fi count cow.
