African Proverb 7

Knowledge is like a a garden, if it is not cultivated, it can not be harvested. I think that this proverb means if you don't work at using your knowledge on a daily basis you won't Know what you want when your older. For instance if I like basketball and I learn a lot about it but if I don't use it frequently I will forget what I knew later on in life. Also if I like to hunt and I learn all I can I should try to learn more.
A lot of people don't normally do this They just learn and forget what they learned. Whats the purpose of that in the end it was just a waste of time and brain space. I personally like science and so every day I try to learn something new. I also practice by studying everry night. This is what I think this proverb means.

African Proveb#4

It is better to be loved than feared. I think that this proverb means that this proverb means that you will have more friends if they love you and aren't afraid of you. Many people want to be feared and that's why mostly they don't have friends and if they do their
friends don't like them. When you are feared many of those people don't like to be around you or talk to you.

This can be used in my every day life by when I meet someone don't try to act like a bully or tough guy. I could also talk to people in a low but friendly tone. I learned that you will meet more people and have a lot friends if you smile when you talk. If I meet someone new in my neighborhood instead of just seeing that their shy I could take the liberty of seeing if they want to play.
