The duck is simply being pretentious; it won't crow.

~Nigerian Proverb

Ever worried so much about something only to realise later it was all under control? Today's proverb reflects this.

My mum used to be very worrisome. When you were out, she would worry. When your in, she worried. When you did your home work she worried, when you didn't do she worried. I understand she was being motherly , but logically, some of it just wasn't necessary.

I'm grown now, and I have had worries of my own. Worrying and negativity had never helped solve any of my problems. It only took away focus and possible solutions.

There is hope beyond the wall. Learn to see it.

Proverbs have inspired me for a long time. There is so much wisdom in them. My father always told me a few every now and then. Hope to share my thoughts daily with you.

Worry truly solves nothing. I have been a worrier myself and I know how futile an effort it is.

Its always best to review the situation and go at it with the view to getting the problem solved.

Yes dear...worry is very unproductive.

go at it with the view to getting the problem solved.

This is the way. Anything short of this for me is a waist of productive time. Thanks for stopping by.

Yes, I'll adopt this strategy. Thanks.
