Bi Odumare ṣe da mi, ni mo nṣe
How Odumare do create me is I doing
Mi o se ibi
I not do bad
Mi o ṣe ika
I not do harm
Ki mma ba a ba osi ku
So I not with poverty die [So I may not suffer bad consequences]
Nitori, owo ti a ba ṣe ni owurọ, timọ timọ ni nmọ 'ni ni ọwọ di ọjọ alẹ (ati bẹẹ bẹẹ)
Because trade that we do in morning, tough tough is wrap person in hand till day night

Who we are and how we act are symbolic of our unique personalities. For instance, our melanin pigmentations may tell us apart at a glance. Likewise, our physical identities may give us away at any moment. Then, our speech patterns may help in putting us at certain geographical locations of the earthily sphere we all share as human beings. But, our acts and deeds can be the infusion of our differing qualities. Even though environmental influences in our lives can be a plus or a minus in the retrospective view of our immediate environments, or of the world at large, our innate feelings play a big role in what we exhibit when we act our deeds. Importantly, our actions are the outward display of who we are. For an example, our approach to life's never-ending, differing encounters will give more vivid image of us--the true person we unintentionally reveal. It is this person, and not the persona, that we refer to when we talk about the vices and virtues of us fellow human beings.
 
It is also this person that is being revealed in the above partially quoted verse of an Odu Ifa. If we are truthfully disposed to act piously, we should act piously. And, if we are disposed to act otherwise, we should go ahead and act otherwise; however, we should take cognizance of the fact that life is "give and take"—we receive what we put out—the law of karma (theosophy). So, either way we interpret our "set childhood traits and habits" that have in turn "become lifetime patterns" to us, we should always create balance in our daily acts and deeds. A ji ire ni oni o (we wake up with ire today—"Good Morning").
