Iulai (July) ‘Ōlelo No’eau “Wise Proverb”

 I would like to share an ‘Ōlelo No’eau, a wise proverb, for the month of Iulai, July.

‘A’ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia

"No task is too big when shared by all"

This ‘Ōlelo No’eau can apply to us in many ways such as work,  sports, school, and even at home. It reminds me of team work and the idea of laulima, which translates to “cooperation”. Laulima literally means “many hands”. When there are many hands working together in harmony and unity, any task becomes much easier.  When facing a challenge that is too big to handle on your own, consider including others to help you lighten the load.
