I SOURCED THE QUOTE

MAXIM

In Yoruba: Oba ran'ni nise, odo obá mbe lona, ise Oba ko'se ma je, odo obâ ko'se binu ko ro'lu.

English Translation: The king sends one on an errand, Lo, the flood has caused the river to overflow. It is impossible to decline the King's bidding, yet suicidal to enter the strong current river.

USAGE

This adage is used to provoke deeper thinking when faced with a dilemma. It is often recited while in a confusing situation that begs for way out.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

Many times in life we are faced with situations that seems like there is not going to be a way out, oftentimes though, these situations naturally resolve themselves.

Personally, when I’m faced with situations where I think there is no way out, I allow my fear factor to first subside, then I will think about options available in such an impossible situation, and be sure I have really tried putting things in perspective, after which I’ll go for the options that can make the worst case a little better and wait for the event to unfold, while praying to whom I believe in.

As usual, I hope this works for you like it does for me. Let me leave you with these quotes below. Cheers!

“This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.-Omar Bradley”

“A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma. - Marlene Dietrich”
