I Learn by Doing: A Personal Meditation on the Batak Proverb "You learn how to cut down trees by cutting them down." — Batak (Batiki) Proverb That line hits different when you’ve lived it. I chose this proverb for Day 3 of Tribal Quotes because it calls out something deep that many of us are missing: the wisdom of experience. Too often, we get stuck in thought, tangled in theory, or lost in the illusion of needing to be fully ready before we act. But this proverb cuts straight through the noise.

I  prepared myself for a birage of question I thought this would bring from him, and already was preparing what I would say next, but he had no more questions just a simple statement that blew my mind.
Cleven just paused looked at me thoughtfully and stated:
Cleve: " Oh like the "Thundar Cats", when Lion O went to the astral plane."
Ha2: "I'll be damned! ........ Yeah, that was brilliant Cleve
