Whakatauki :
Maori:
"Tangata ako i te whare te turanga ki te marae tau ana "
English :
"The person taught well at home will stand strong on the marae and in society "
Key message :
It starts at home , if you get taught well about leadership and values , you will be able to take that leadership skill and those values through your life journey. Getting taught those values and showing that leadership will take u far in life as in being an adult .
A time in my life :
A time in my life where this whakatauki was set is when i'm either going to a tangi or a family meeting . Theres either one person standing up and telling us ( kids and adults ) how things are going to be , he or she reminds us on how we should respect each other and show our values towards each other .
You will hear this in :
You will either hear this whakatauki in : Sports tournaments , family meetings , confrences etc..
My own version :
" Values taught when you are young , using these values and leadership wisely will help you get far when you are an adult "
