| LAKE ONTARIO - FROM DOWNTOWN TORONTO |
"Yu caan gi peeple baskit fi carry wata".
Translation: You cannot give people baskets to carry water.
What does this mean? If you are assigning a task or have an expectation of someone, make sure they have the right tools, and their capability is in alignment with the expectation. Do not expect the impossible from another, when it's something that you would not do because you would not want to do that thing; or could not do, because you do not have the skills set to do, something that you know that the person does not have the skill set either.
Application: This proverb is used a lot in employee/employer or boss situations. You want me to do what? How do you expect me to do that when you know I do not have the right training? Boy, yu caan gi peeple baskit fi carry wata!
Have a sensational Saturday!
