Matanda makuru mazungunuswa, pamwe ungasiya nerisina midzi.

Translation

Moving huge logs is worth a try; you might leave one that has no roots.

Application

Some tasks or obstacles at first look unmanageable or impossible, but once we have had a go at them we realise we can face them. One should therefore try first before deciding something cannot be done.
