‘ It is one’s handwork that determines what one eats for dinner; for some it is pounded yam, for others it is pounded plantain or nothing’
Your handwork is simply anything you can do with your hands or whatever you can do with any skills you have got. So, whatever you get from what you choose to do with your hands determines what you will eat for dinner.
Our ancestors believe that anyone who chooses not to do anything or earn anything from his/her handwork may eventually eat whatever or nothing. You can only determine or choose what you want to eat for dinner if you can do something lucrative or worthwhile with your handwork. However, if you decide to be lazy or idle, you have no choice than to accept whatever anyone gives you or else you may end up eating nothing.
Every human on earth has a special time for dinner. Your preparation while working in the day determines what you would eat for dinner. What do you choose to prepare with your handwork? There are many people today who have hands but are unable to do something worthwhile with their hands. Instead of allowing people to dictate what, when, where and how you would eat, it is better for you to start doing something with the skills, knowledge, education, idea, strength or influence you have got.
Don’t be idle; always strive hard to do something that will help you make a living. Don’t just do it, do it well. It is natural for every hand that feeds you to influence you, so if you don’t want to live for other people, you need to start doing something good with your hands.
Remember, if you don’t use what you have to get what you want, there may not be any food for you at dinner. Many you not end up your day eating nothing.
