Learning is a lifelong effort. "Consider a language ... language serves to describe a combination of colored squares on a surface. The squares form a complex like a chessboard. There are red, green, white and black squares. The words of the language are 'red', 'green', 'white', 'black', and a sentence is a series of these words. They describe an arrangement of squares in an order." -- Ludwig Wittgenstein, philosopher (20th century)

Proverb Part Three

Here are the next five proverbs!

Grass doesn't grow on a racetrack.

The grass on a racetrack can’t grow because it doesn’t get the chance. It is continuously trampled down. If you are always pushed down, dominated by parents, teachers, or your boss, you won’t have the chance to grow and show your full potential.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Do something immediately while you have a good chance of achieving success. Take action immediately in order to have a better chance of success.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

This means that we shouldn't spend or waste money, but try to save it. Money not spent is money that is in one’s pocket. The phrase "A penny saved is a penny earned" is actually a quote by Benjamin Franklin who was one of the most important and influential Founding Fathers of the United States of America.

Beggars shouldn't be choosers.

Don't complain about free gifts. If you receive a gift or a handout, take with pleasure and be happy with it. Always remember it’s a gift, not something you paid for or earned.

Like father like son.

Sons often imitate and learn their fathers. Therefore, fathers should be careful how they behave especially in frond of their children. Children learn from their parents especially things parents don’t want their children to learn.
