"Wah nuh dead, no dash weh"
Translation: What is not dead, dont throw it away.
What does this mean: Another way of saying where there is life there is hope. There is always hope. I was reading this article, and the story touched my heart. So many times we are quick to pass judgement and declare someone or something hopeless.
Application: The story speaks for it self! Google the story and read about this amazing transformation. There is also an article about +Orlando Franklin in the Jamaica Gleaner.
Just an anecdote: In 1981 I was working in an office building at Yonge & Sheppard. One of the offices on our floor put on a plant that was almost dead. The plant makes a lovely house or office plant. I broke off the top which was still good, took it home and planted. I had that plant up until 2008 when I had to give it away as I was moving from a house to an apartment and did not have room for it.
Walk good, and remember, it it nuh dead nuh dash it way!

This has been the most popular of all the proverbs I posted thus far! It is one of my favourite too because it is one of hope. Nuff love yuh hear. Beverley
