My Favourite Speech.

My favourite speech was by Jessie. Jessie's topic was on Rhythmic Gymnastics Shouldn't Be In The Olympics and I got what she was talking about. It was very interesting and it was funny.
You had an awesome speech Jess, it was very cool. -_- .  :) .

Fridays Proverb.

Maori:
Te anga karaka, te anga koura, kei kitea te Marae

Translate:
The shells of the karaka berry, and the shells of the crayfish, should not be seen from the Marae

Although this clearly has a hygienic undertone, it also refers to discipline. A tribe or war party who disregards organization and has no concern for where they leave their rubbish and gear reflects poor leadership and discipline, thus becoming easy prey for a more regimented force.

To me this means to keep the world clean and healthy.

Wednesdays Proverb.

Maori:
Whāia te iti kahurangi
Ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei

Translate:
Pursue excellence – should you stumble, let it be to a lofty mountain.

This means to me that go hard and you will achieve your goals.

Thursdays Proverb.

Maori:
E koekoe te tūī, e ketekete te kākā, e kūkū te kererū.
 
Translate:
The tūī chatters, the parrot gabbles, the wood pigeon coos.
Its popular meaning ‘It takes all kinds of people...’
The tui is used as a symbol of oratory (speaking).

This means to me that when you have more than one person you can do anything.
