“Things Just Work Out for the Foolish” (Palestinian–Jordanian dialect proverb) There were two young women, Shahd and Noor, who decided to open a small business. The problem was that neither of them had any experience. They had never studied the business, never really thought it through, never calculated the costs, and had no idea how to price their products. One day, the idea simply popped into their heads. All they did was rent a small shop, buy a few tables, and open the doors. The people around them couldn’t believe it. One person said, “These two don’t know the first thing about running a business.” Another replied, “I’ve spent two years studying my business plan, and I still haven’t opened mine.” The surprising part? From the very first week, the shop was packed with customers. A month later, a popular social media influencer happened to visit, filmed a video there, and suddenly the shop became even more famous. A few months later… They opened a second branch. Abu Raed, who had owned a shop for years, stood watching them in disbelief. He turned to his friend and said, “I’ve been doing this for ten years. I think through every single step… and these two don’t know what they’re doing, yet every day business is booming for them. It’s like everything just falls into place.” His friend laughed and replied, “What can I say… things just work out for the foolish.” Sometimes you see people with no experience and no planning, yet luck seems to be on their side, and everything they do somehow succeeds. Meaning of the proverb “Things just work out for the foolish” is a humorous proverb used when someone has very little experience or acts without much planning, yet everything somehow goes right for them. Sometimes they even end up doing better than people who have spent years planning and working hard. It is usually said jokingly or with amused disbelief, highlighting how unpredictable luck can be.
