Merlin

It's a British term first coined by Anne Isabella Ritchie in a story she made called Mrs. Dymond in the early 19th century.

Money can't buy you happiness

it is a Biblical quotation, Proverbs 21.22 with a parallel translation in the New International verson of the Bible. "Wisdom is better than strength, but the poor mans wisdom is despised and his words are no longer heeded"

This means if you are determined to solve a problem by trying often and hard to find a solution you will find a way to solve the problem. Similarly- necessity is the mother of invention.
This means that when you are determined or enthusiastic about something, there will be a way to fulfil or complete the task. For example if you have a difficult maths equation and you cant see a way of finding the answer you could give up, but if you are determined to find the answer you will find a method to find the answer.

One example of an Igbo proverb that emphasizes the importance of wisdom and knowledge in decision-making is "Eziokwu bu ndu," which translates to "Truth is life." This proverb underscores the significance of seeking and adhering to the truth in making decisions. Another example is "Ogaranya buru chi, o nata akara," meaning "A wealthy person may be powerful, but wisdom is more valuable." This proverb highlights the superiority of wisdom over material wealth in guiding one's choices.
