    Today’s African #proverb: All peppers from the same tree do not ripe simultaneously. An Akan proverb sent by Agyemang Owusu Prince and Immanuel Agyemang Dwomoh, both from Accra, Ghana. How do you interpret this proverb? https://bbc.in/2qoMc5n

        Well it means given the same circumstances and conditions, you're not supposed to compare yourself to the other person...we've all got our personal qualities that determine our success.

        Take life easy or jeje, because for this life, na turn by turn. Don’t envy those who have now, work and remain focus, your time will come.

        You may be given the same opportunities as others but that doesn't guarantee your future.

        The meaning of the proverb is that we may start the same thing at the same given point and time but the progress will be notable each different from one another.
