“Good millet is known at harvest.”
African proverb and quote.
“Good millet is known at harvest.” This African proverb conveys the concept that you reap what you sow. It serves as a reminder to avoid making rash decisions. It is also a reminder to plant good, high-quality seeds. At some point, everyone has to wait to see the outcome. Only then will we truly understand how good the harvest is.
This phrase is applicable to many aspects of life. Crops in farming require time to mature. In education, learning takes years to produce results. Success in business is typically the result of a lot of hard work. We don’t always notice results straight away. The main thing is to use good seeds, concepts, and methods to generate a positive result.
The proverb encourages us to continue working hard and avoid cutting corners. Good things often take time to develop with the right care and input. We must trust the process and remain dedicated. Finally, when the time comes to reap the fruit, our contributions and efforts will reveal their actual worth.
