Shona Definition
Hapana chimuko chinovinga agere zvake. Kuti uwane chinhu chinenge chatotamburirwa. Munhu anofamba nzvimbo zhinji ndiye anoona nokudzidza zvakawanda.
English Translation
Nothing comes to the person who simply sits still; anything worth having is gained through effort. The one who moves around and sees many places is the one who learns the most.
Cultural Context
“Said of someone who stays put and so never encounters new ways of doing things or new ideas.”
