"Contente-se com o que tem, quem quiser virer sossegado"-
Portuguese proverb
means- "Be content with what you have if you wish to live
peacefully"
The Portuguese word Sossegado , along with many
others, is still often used in Konkani, Goa’s official language.
Often misunderstood by non Goans to mean lazy, the dictionary
defines sossegado as quiet, restful, assured,
at peace.
It means taking time to enjoy the good things in life and a very
sane refusal to be rushed.
