Somali Poem - We all need a little motivation
Adoo dhaxal reebi kara
Ha noqon dhinte aan latabin
Ha noqon ruux dhinac ka raran
Dhagtaadu yay noqon mid
dhagaysata kali xumaan,
Dharaartay kugu xuntahay,
Waynaha sacabada u dhigo
Ilmada dhabanada ka tiro
Dhabarka murugada u rido
Dhaxdana himilada u xidho
Fulow guul waa dhowdahee
Rajadu yay kaa xumaan
Leave a legacy that lasts, not a story lost in space,
Don't be a forgotten face in life's race.
Choose kindness, not just for show,
In life's drama, be the hero, not the extra in tow.
When troubles knock, call on the divine line,
Dry those tears, let your laughter shine.
Keep pushing forward, success is on the go,
With hope as your guide, you'll steal the show!"
Thank your for listening, till next time, Take Care!

Somali Proverbs/Sayings
In this episode, we embarked on a journey through Somali culture, exploring its wisdom through a collection of insightful proverbs. We began by acknowledging the significant role of women in shaping success, highlighting the proverb "Rag haween ayaa kala hor mariya," which emphasizes the invaluable contributions of women as mothers, wives, and mentors to men's achievements. Transitioning to the theme of exploration and learning, we reflected on the saying "War la qabo xiiso ma leh," which encourages curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge beyond familiar boundaries. Moving on to social etiquette, we discussed the proverb "Aroos lagama raago, lagumana raago," stressing the importance of moderation and respect in attending social gatherings like weddings.
