Thank you so much for these great morsels of wisdom. 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬

Please can you make another video to explain the symbols (Adinkra) for us

This is priceless! I have known of the adinkra symbols (also Akan wisdoms) for a couple decades and am now writing a children's novel about the symbols and African proverbs. I am African American and I recently had my dna testing done for a 2nd time. I'm 51 percent West African ancestry, mostly Ghanaian! We must keep our knowledge and traditions alive and I believe we can build on them further too as our Af. American wise men and women gave and continue to give much to the world as well. Blessings to you Chief Kwame Frimpong Manso Adakabre and to Yenkassa for this share!

My father was an Akan. Ashante to be precise.

Just beautiful! Thanks.

Very, very nice. Thank you and thanks to Mr. Adakabre.

We need a part two!!

Very wise

These are some good proverbs, some similar proverbs can be seen in Chinese philosophers like Confucius and Lao tzu, and gurus like Gautama Buddha, in the Havamal the norsemens book of proverbs from Odin have very acute similarities, and proverbs from Solomon, touches on all these tasks, principles and fundamentals as well. Jesuses parables also takes similar routes. Such a good explaination from this wise man.

Pastor Myles Monroe stated you don’t need to know everything, just what works for you, Solomon also says this to be weary of reading too much books, for they will never end, and reading the wrong books can weary the flesh for the more knowledge one gets the more sorrow it adds, I found out that to be true, some things should be not known or disregarded. Gautama says to take the mind is of imperative importance, like Jim rhon states, stand guard at the door of your mind, as Confucius says knowledge is only useful if it can be used. Some stoics and epicureans stated this as well, for it is not good to talk a lot about many subjects, but much on only a few. Powerful.

It’s always good to hear these, but it stresses me that although they are easy to understand, they are at times difficult to do and employ. But this comes with practice, for Jim rhon says be weary of people with a thousand philosophies, for one only needs but a few to practice which works, Gautama also says this in the suttas the thousands, for it is better to practice a few scriptures well, than to know a thousand verses and not be able to employ them. Knowledge and wisdom are two different things, I don’t wish to be greatly knowledgeable, but instead greatly wise, for wisdom is chief as Solomon says, wisdom is tied with prudence not simplicity. Thank you for your teachings of wise proverbs.

Very nice, I liked reading the words along with the orignal quote and its translation.
