| SNOWSHOEING ACROSS SUSPENSION BRIDGE - SCENIC CAVES |
"Mangoose she if yu nuh tek chance yu a nuh man."
Translation: Mongoose say if you do not take chances you are not a man.
What does this mean? This proverb is about taking risk. In my own experience, people used it to justify taking a risk, make excuses for haven taken an over-aggressive risk or trump up the courage to take a chance with something.
The proverb came out observation of the need for the Mongoose to cross the road from one cane field to another. The risk here is that the Mongoose might get killed by a vehicle while crossing the road, yet, to get to the other field it is necessary to cross the road. It can be applied to just about any situation that involves taking a chance, like deciding to pull up stake and relocate in another town, city or even another country. By taking a chance you show what you are made of - big and tough, or small and weak!
The thing is, without taking risks, you accomplish nothing. Like the Mongoose, muster up the courage and cross that road!
Look what this Mongoose goes up against!
