African Proverb: Horns do not grow before the head
Meaning: In the construction of a building you cannot have the superstructure before the foundation. The superstructure is supported on the foundation. That said, the foundation is important for many reasons. The main reason is that it provides strength and stability to the building. A shoddy work in the foundation, puts the whole building at risk. And if any mistake in the foundation is not addressed, it compounds (gets worse as you go up). A bad foundation is no foundation. It's like a horn without the head: it's hollow. And according to the Webster dictionary if something is described as hollow, it means it has "no real value or meaning. That is, lacks substance. Alas, many things we do are hollow. They are horns without heads. This is because instead of first ensuring we have good foundation, we focus our energies on the superstructure. We have reversed the correct order. We have put the cart before the horse. No wonder, we have more books and less wisdom; more possessions and less contentment; tall egos and short tempers; more medicine and less wellness; more treaties and less peace; more creeds and less morality; great visions and narrow viewpoints and more social media and less real relationship.It's a travesty of success! Be unconventional !
