I was Island hopping through the portfolio last night, stopping on the big island, when I came across this image of a Hammerhead shark in a bit of difficulty. It reminded me of an old Hawaiian proverb.

Some days you get to be the shark

Some days you get the hook

However, it’s never good for both to happen on the same day.

Those Hawaiian folks, you’ve got to give them credit. They sit around on the beach all day in sarongs, drink coconut milk, sing songs and dance, play their ukuleles, and  don’t worry too much. Just taking it easy you know, and they have things figured out pretty good for people who don’t punch a clock.

I’m still trying to figure out the moral of the proverb. Maybe there isn’t one. Perhaps they’re just good cautionary words to keep in mind if you decide to go swimming. Anyway that’s our proverb lesson for today. Aloha.
