Read by the tongue
1 Navajo (Diné bizaad) proverb read closely — filed under Effort and Hardship; set beside cousins in Latin, Greek (Aesopic) / English and Russian.
T'áá hwó ají t'éego.
tah hwoh-ah-jee tay-go (approx.)
A documented Diné teaching — t'áá hwó ají t'éego, 'it is up to you' — places your life in your own hands. Latin, Aesop, and Russian agree, but only the Diné one makes self-reliance a spiritual discipline.
Your life is in your own hands — meet it with your own effort.
T'áá hwó ají t'éego.
tah hwoh-ah-jee tay-go (approx.)
Literally: It is up to oneself to do it.
