A Quote by Traditional Wolof Proverb on senegal, wolof, and
success  Ndanke Ndanke Muy Diap Golo Chi Nai Wolof for "Slowly,
slowly the monkey is coaxed from the underbrush."  Achieving
anything worthwhile takes time and patience.  Stated negatively,
haste will destroy what perserverence will nurture.  It's not
hard to imagine what would happen if you dive into the
underbrush after the monkey.   This is a major value in
Senegalese society, but is mostly foreign to Westerners. 
Everybody know that "patience is a virtue," but the Senegalese
idea is deeper, more fundamental -- even if you haven't
made tangible progress toward your objective today or tomorrow,
it's no indication that you've failed, even in the short
term.  A person's fortune unfolds slowly, unpredictably.  Set-
backs are temporary.  Success in even the small things requires
the long view.  Traditional Wolof Proverb  Contributed by: John
