Te Wiki o te Reo Māori: Whakatauki

Whakataukī (proverbs) represent the wisdom guiding the Maori culture. 
They are commonly used as inspirations in speeches and also as gentle reminders spoken to each other in everyday life. They are poetic expressions of wise sayings which allude to symbols native to Aotearoa.

Kia ora whanau! The following example and instructions are one of this week's writing tasks, which also links very well to te wiki o te reo Maori and our own hauora. 

You have to select a whakatauki you resonate with, what it basically means and describe how you show this in your own life. What is a whakatauki you can relate to?
