Stan pon Ya Taes, Ya Cyan Stan Still

Wah dis chaptа bout?

Chapter 24 show say wen ya stan pon ya taes ya cyan stay steady, an wen ya stretch ya leg too wide ya cyan waka far. Di ones wey show off, justify demself, brag bout demself, an get proud — dem nuh gat no real value inna di Way. Dat kine tings come from too much self, an all nacher sick a dem.

How it relate to me?

Mi use fi feel like mi haffi show people say mi gat someting, prove say mi right, hold miself up so dem cyan see mi. But dat kine ting no bring peace — it mek mi tired an empty. Now mi see say real strength eena in humility, no inna alligator mouth.

Wah mi fi do todeh?

Today, mi guo resist di urge fi show off ar justify miself. Wen mi feel di need fi big up miself, mi guo pause an let di action speak instead. Mi guo avoid wa dem call '余食赘行' — vain tings weh nuh fill ya belly.
