If the cockroach wants to rule over the chicken, then it must hire the fox as a bodyguard.
Proverb · Sierra Leone
What it means
This proverb means in order to stay on top of your game, you must assess your situation, identify your weak points, and employ the best strategies there are. The fox as a bodyguard in this case is the cockroach's best strategy.
It also means - as explained by a user on our Facebook page - that it is ok to dream big as long as your strategy for success is well thought out.
