The Sierra Leone proverb "Don't buy a goat because of its voice only" is a reminder that we should not judge something or someone based on superficial appearances. Just as a goat's voice does not necessarily indicate its quality, so too can people be deceptive. In this episode of AFIAPodcast, You'll explore the wisdom of the proverb and its relevance to your life today. We'll discuss how we can avoid being misled by appearances and how to make better judgments about the people and things around us. Three nuggets of wisdom: 1. Don't judge a book by its cover. 2. Appearances can be deceiving. 3. Look beyond the surface to see the true value of something or someone.
