Download or read book A Proverb a Day Keeps Sloth Away written by Isabel Throcker and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating something complex from simple constituent parts is probably the most impressive thing that we as the human race can do. From strings of zeros and ones, we have created a universe of digital mathematics, one that powers every computer in the world today. From simple words that we speak every day, we have created proverbs, that hold many oceans of profound meaning within their few words. Within this book, you will meet many proverbs. Some old, some new: all of them will greet you like an old friend, and leave you richer for the experience of having encountered them on this fortunate day! Time travel has not yet been invented; therefore, it is practically impossible to send ourselves to the past, and speak to the greatest minds who are no longer with us today, and to learn from their wisdom. We do not need to rely on time travel, however: their words have survived, many of them in the form of proverbial sayings. The modern world is very busy. Long ago, things were different. Wise men and women had the time to think at leisure, and to come up with nuggets of strong information that stood the test of time, and that we still keep in mind today. The answers to the big questions of life can be found in the pages of history books, in words written by philosophers and sages of the past. This book shows you a wide variety of these clever and succinct sayings, and will provide you with your monthly dose of wisdom. Tiny modules of genius and deep thought handed down from generation to generation in every country under the sun, proverbs teach us that all human beings, regardless of race or history or geography, have always struggled with the same issues, and have sought for truth through their lives. This book celebrates that wisdom. Wisdom is handed down from generation to generation across the world. A lot of this wisdom is in oral form, and uses a lot of words. Proverbs are instances of wisdom concentrated into its most powerful form: because it is most impressive when you use very few words to convey a deep and profound meaning. Over time, wise women, mystic shamans, scientists, artists, philosophers, and leaders of people have come up with proverbs that have stood the test of time. Aphorisms are today created by the bulk aggregating power of social media, and the collaborative web ensures that the power of sharing and creation of text posts leads to viral content and propagates proverbs in the form of memes quicker than ever before in history. We live in exciting times! Knowing a large number of proverbs is useful in many real life situations. For example, if you are giving a speech, sprinkling well chosen proverbs throughout your talk is a good way to appear smart without putting in too much effort on your own. The same is true of formal writing; it is like borrowing wisdom from a public source. In addition, using and knowing proverbs leads to benefits in your own life: you will see that you become less wordy and more pithy in your thought process and expression. This book provides a large number of puzzles that will guide you towards some of the greatest proverbs, sayings, and short quotes of all time. You will exercise your brain in this quest for wisdom. Have fun!

Download or read book An Apple a Day written by Caroline Taggart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time." Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference. You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century. But while it is always useful to have a second opinion (A sounding board? Someone else to blame?) it might also be worth bearing in mind the disadvantages of design or decision-making by committee: something that really pleases no one. So whereas two heads may well be better than one, three could be a crowd. Laughter is the best medicine: This idea is an ancient one and is found in, appropriately, the book of Proverbs: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." It has prompted a surprising amount of research, with the result that some scientists claim that laughter has the same benefits as a mild workout-it stretches muscles, sends more oxygen to the tissues, and generally makes you feel healthier. One study even claims that laughing heartily for 10-15 minutes burns 50 calories. But let's pause for thought here. The world may laugh with you over a joke or a rerun of Seinfeld, but if you make a habit of laughing heartily for 10-15 minutes for no apparent reason, the world is going to think you are nuts and cross the street to avoid you. It may be worth striving for a happy medium. An apple a day keeps the doctor away: A common British folk saying, this is one of the few proverbs that can be taken at face value. All it means is that apples are good for you. The Romans knew this and so did the Anglo-Saxons, who listed the crabapple as one of the nine healing plants given to the world by the god Woden. They probably didn't know, as we now do, that apples contain fiber, antioxidants, and sundry vitamins and minerals that help to prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, and various forms of cancer. But they did know that they were cooling, cleansing, and soothing, whether taken as a natural diuretic or applied externally to inflammations. An anonymous medieval text called The Haven of Health recommended eating an apple to "relieve your feelings" if you were going to bed alone, while Ayurvedic medicine says that apples cure headaches and promote vitality. So the jury is out on whether or not apples are good for your sex life, but they are certainly good for pretty much everything else. Guaranteed to amuse and inform, this is the perfect gift for any language lover.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY Work is Worship How To Write Expansion of an idea? Expansion of an idea or expansion of a proverb is simple and straightforward. It involves 5 easy steps. They are: Step 1: Understand the symbol of the words in the proverb: Most proverbs or ideas are symbolic. The name of place or animal or thing or person stands as a symbol of some quality. We have to try to understand that in the context of the proverb. For example take the proverb, ‘Rome was not built in a day‘. Here the noun ‘Rome’ is the name of a place. We also (should) know that Rome was a great city. So what does Rome stand for? It stands for Greatness or success. (Remember it was a great city). Or take the example of ‘All that glitters is not gold‘. Here we have the noun ‘gold’. It is the name of a thing. We know that gold is a precious metal. So what does gold stand for? It stands for precious. Step 2: Substitute the meaning in the idea or the proverb: Take the two previous examples. ‘Rome was not built in a day’ and ‘All that glitters is not gold’. Now substitute the symbols we found out earlier in the sentences. What do we have? 1 ‘Greatness or success was not built in a day’ 2 ‘All that glitters is not precious’ The proverb is now decoded and ready for understanding. Step 3: Look for a story or anecdote or example or illustration: Now that you have understood what the proverb stands for or what the proverb means, we should look for a suitable example to illustrate it. Where do we get these stories? There are plenty of them. Aesop’s fables are ideal. So are the tales of India, the Panchatantra. We can also look for example from today’s world. We could, for example, for the proverb ‘Rome was not built in a day’, talk about the effort put in by Barack Obama to achieve greatness, and that it took many years to build it, that it did not happen overnight. Step 4: Look for similar proverbs or ideas: “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success” by Napoleon Hill is similar to ‘Rome was not built in a day’; so is the proverb ‘Do not judge the book by its cover’ similar to ‘All that glitters is not precious’. Step 5: Sum up the paragraph: Use summing up words or phrases to indicate that you have finished the expansion and intend to sum it up. You could use ‘Thus’ or ‘In fine’ or ‘So’ or ‘The proverb advises that’. Let the reader know that you are signing off. So we have 5 Steps on ‘How to do expansion of an idea or expansion of a proverb’: Step 1: Understand the symbol of the words in the proverb Step 2: Substitute the meaning in the idea or the proverb Step 3: Look for a story or anecdote or example or illustration Step 4: Look for similar proverbs or ideas Step 5: Sum up the paragraph This is how I do expansion of an idea or expansion of a proverb.
