KISWAHILI: ANAYESITASITA HAWEZI KUFANIKISHA KUPATA MTOTO ANAYEFANANA NAYE.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chaangalia fahari wa ng’ombe ambaye apandi majike. Fahari huyo, ni dume la ng’ome ambalo haliwezi kupata majike, badala yake lenyewe huishia kujalibia tu, bila kuyapanda. Yeye hawezi kuwa na ndama anayefanana naye. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘anayesitasita hawezi kufanikisha kupata mtoto anayefanana naye.’

Methali hiyo, hufananishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi kwa kusitasita, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, hawezi kufanikiwa katika kazi yoyote ile, kwa sababu ya kuishi bila kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yake.

Yeye hufanana na fahari ambaye husitasita kupanda majike, kwa sababu naye husitasita kuyatekeleza majukumu yake. Mtu huyo, hajiwekei mikakati ya kufanya kazi kwa badii hadi kuzimaliza. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘anayesitasita hawezi kufanikisha kupata mtoto anayefanana naye.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuyatekeleza majukumu yao kwa ukamilifu hadi kuyamaliza, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika maisha yao.

ENGLISH: HE WHO HESITATES WILL NEVER GET A CHILD THAT RESEMBLES HIM.

The source of this proverb is a bull that is hesitant to mount a cow. This bull fails to mount the cow, instead, ends up trying to mount it. Such a bull is not likely to have a calf that resembles it (the bull). This is why people can describe such a bull using the proverb that ‘he who hesitates will never get a child that resembles him.’

The proverb is likened to a person who works with hesitation in his/her life. Such a person will not be able to succeed in life because he or she is not living up to his or her responsibilities. He/she is like a bull that fails to fulfill its responsibilities. This person also does not make plans to work to the end.

This proverb teaches people to carry out their tasks to the fullest. This will enable them to have achievements in life.
