To me, it means that we should not be too quick to underrate or discount anything, as underrated things may become very valuable, depending on the circumstances, even if it isn’t always immediately apparent.
For instance, that transistor radio being neglected can become a valuable tool for getting much-needed information during a hurricane where telephone and internet networks may be badly affected.
China and Mongolia are neighbours with interactions that hack back to the times of the ancient Mongolian warrior, Ghengis Khan.
Deng Xiaoping, the architect of China’s 20th Century economic revolution made a similar statement to the proverb above when defending his economic policies.
He stated, “It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.”
This proverb tells me that, we are all equal as human beings. The rich need the poor to work in their businesses and the poor also need the rich by working in their organization. Everyone needs everyone.
It means we should not despise small beginnings. FIFA, the world football governing body, started as a very small organization in Switzerland. Today, see how mighty it is indeed.
It means everyone is relevant in my own opinion
Agreed
It means everyone had his own good
Yes

I wonder if both statements have a cultural link.

It means we all are equal in the sight of God.
To me, it means that no matter who you are, what you are or where you are from, you still have your own unique value.
It also means that no one should be underestimated or underrated no matter what.
@michellecute that is just it
@cake you are right on that. Like the holy scripture in (1 Peter 2:17)(KJV) “Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king”.
@omaonu
Right. Honour all men.
It means we should not despise small beginnings. FIFA, the world football governing body, started as a very small organization in Switzerland. Today, see how mighty it is indeed.
@cake you are on point.
