11-------Easy does it
Some things require gentleness for success. One should not push too hard. Force may cause damage
12--------The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Do not be discouraged by the size of your problem or the fame of your competitor.
(the saying is traced to a boxer preparing to fight an opponent much larger than he was.)
13--------All is well that ends well
If we can come to a successful conclusion, let us forget about the pain and mistakes along
the way.
14--------Go for it
Go ahead and try to achieve your goal. Don't worry about failing. Similar to this proverb--God
provides food to every bird, but he won't cast to its nest, you got to earn it.
15--------Every little bit helps
If someone apologizes for giving only a small gift, the recipient may encourage the giver by
quoting this proverb. This is especially true if there is a huge job to do or a huge amount of
money to be raised from many people.
16--------Look before you leap
Don't jump into a situation carelessly. You may land in difficulty
17--------All that glitters is not gold
Do not be fooled by worthless things that seem valuable or look attractive.
"Fool's gold " is the popular name for a kind of stone that glitters like gold but contains no gold at all.
18-------Curiosity killed the cat
Do not ask too many questions or become too curious about things. You may get yourself into
trouble like a cat that does not see the danger in a new situation
19--------Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Do not risk everything in one place or on one project. Divide your sources that one failure
will not ruin you. Similar to this proverb---Do not use both feet to test the depth of the river
20--------Don't bite off more than you can chew
Do not attempt something too large for you to handle |
