ለምን ያለው ስልቻውን ጫን ያለው ኮርቻውን አያጣም

“One who says 'why' won't lose his sack; one who says 'load it' won't lose his saddle.”

Meaning

This proverb suggests that a person who asks 'why' and seeks understanding about a task will perform it competently and responsibly, thus not losing their possessions (sack). Similarly, one who takes initiative and responsibility ('load it') will diligently complete the work and therefore not lose their property (saddle). It emphasizes accountability, diligence, and practicality in securing one's belongings or livelihood.
