A Noble words E01//When a king's palace burns down, the rebuilt palace is more beautiful.

A short Story: Once there was a great king living in a big, beautiful palace. One day, a terrible fire came and the entire palace burns down. People cried and feel better because something so precious is lost. But later, the king rebuilds his palace and this time, the new palace become even more beautiful than the one that was destroyed initially. It is stronger, bigger and with better designed.

This is a Yoruba proverb that teaches a powerful life lesson.

The meaning of this proverb.

This proverb teaches us that great things can come out of loss and hardship. When we go through problems, we often become stronger wiser.

The fire from the short story above represents problems in life, the failure, loss, pain, or hard times. The rebuilding of the palace stands for the strength and wisdom we gain from those hard times. It shows that after suffering, we can become even better than before.

Sometimes, we don’t know how creative or strong we can be until life forces us to change. A challenge can push us to think in new ways or work harder. That’s why we say "necessity is the mother of invention". When we need to fix or rebuild something, we often find smart and better ways to do it.

This proverb encourages us not to give up when bad things happen. It tells us that failure, pain or loss is not the end, it can be a new beginning. Just like the king rebuilt a more beautiful palace, we too can rebuild our lives after failure or sadness.
