“One One Cocoa Full Basket”
proverb
/wən/ /wən//ˈkōˌkō/ /fʊl/ /ˈbaskət/
Meaning:
1. Small contributions, when accumulated over time, have a significant impact.
2. Do not expect success overnight. The path to success is a step-by-step process and requires patience.
3. Even a single cocoa pod, when added to a basket, contributes to filling the basket.
In essence, “every mickle mek a muckle”— every little bit helps. By adding small efforts or contributions together, you can achieve a significant or 'full' result.
