ENGLISH: LET US EAT, WE NEVER KNOW.

The origin of this saying is people getting ready to embark on a journey, by eating food first. They eat enough to get energy to travel safely.

The food helps them live longer and be stronger, even if they do not have enough food where they go. That is why they encourage one another to eat before they begin their journey, saying, ‘Let us eat, we never know.’

The saying is comparatively used to encourage people to be well prepared beforeand when they intend to do a certain task. They realize that every job needs well-preparedness for it to be successful. So, the work done with good preparation brings great success to its executors.

In that sense, those people get a lot of success in their work because of the good preparation they have to do before doing the tasks at hand. In addition, they also teach their peers how to prepare themselves well before doing any piece of work so that they too can be successful. That is why such people tell their companions, ‘Let us eat, we never know.’

The saying teaches people to make good preparations, when they have to do a certain task, before doing the taskk. Such preparation is bound to bring many benefits to them.
