Avea lou nei leo e fai ma sui o le potu tasi. Ia faamanuia atu ai, le vaiaso o le gagana Samoa. O le autū i lenei tausaga: “Ia malu lou sā. Folau i lagimā / A well-grounded self is a successful self.
A malu se va’afolau, o le atoatoa lea o itu uma o le vaa, ma e mautinoa o le folauga e taunu’u ma le manuia.
E fa’apena foi le tagata, o le atoatoa ma le lelei o ana tapenaga, e malu ai lona sā, ma folau ai i lagimā.
A well-crafted ocean sailing vessel, built with care and precision, ensures a safe and steady journey. When all its parts are thoughtfully constructed, the vessel remains balanced, strong and ready to face the open seas.
Similarly, people who prepare thoroughly and with intention become grounded and resilient and well-equipped to navigate life’s challenges and succeed in their endeavours. No matter the challenges and hardships of life, a well-grounded person will not be easily shaken or defeated because they are firmly rooted and well-prepared.
Ia manuia le vaiaso o le gagana Samoa. Faafetai lava.
