Māori Whakatauki -
"Ko te manu e kai i te miro nōna te ngahere, Ko te manu kai i te mātauranga, nōna te ao".
"The bird that eats the miro berry owns the forest. The bird that feasts on knowledge owns the world".
The proverb encourages the importance of knowledge sharing and learning for the benefit of all, meaning that those who embrace knowledge and learning are not just benefiting themselves, but also the world around them.
