Harmony at work!

Papa Njaga Mbye talking: “Service Bor Mana Yorr, Bul Xebb Ku Nyow Bess - Bul Seesit Kifa Jiitu, Bolleh Len Ligeuye” – Hajalloh Defa Nyaaw!

Paraphrase:

It doesn't matter where or what your line of work is, do not rate the newcomer too low, and let the rookie not also overly envy the veteran. Work together in harmony.

NOW LET ME EXPOUND: that on your team, at your workplace, your immediate area or just anywhere, when there is a sense of cooperative spirit and mutual effort, no amount of ‘wahala’ can be too burdensome. Even if y’all cannot take it straight out, if you collaborate you can at least drag it to where you want it.

I have seen ants [insects] do that all the time, and by God they’re able to tow even a dead cockroach. That’s what supportive civilisation is all about

See, even in the face of your matchless competence, doing everything solo can perhaps heighten an underserved sense of self; you can go on saying: “I did this, I did that and I did those too”, but all of ‘that’ cannot result in any collective victory, only teamwork can do that.


Matter of fact, weren't we taught in our management course groups that ‘TEAM’ stands for: T’ogether, E’veryone A’chieves M’ore?
