Power up with Proverbs

Proverbs store the refined wisdom of the ages in short, memorable lines. Often they have several layers of understanding. This blog features a weekly proverb and explores its meaning. Sir Winston Churchill, the former British Prime Minister, war leader, writer, painter, historian, bon viveur, and very good bricklayer, recommended that people who lacked formal education should acquire a good stock of proverbs. "The Wisdom of Nations lies in their Proverbs... Collect and learn them". William Penn

The willing horse gets the work.

It is always easier to get an obliging person to do something than a truculent one but this can lead to exploitation, and before long it can result in: "the final straw that breaks the camel's back". If you are willing and eager then people will want you to work for them but make sure you are not overworked.
