Here are six "Old Sayings" that all connect with the application of practical knowledge.
2. "You get what you pay for".
3. "Dangling the carrot
4. "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar".
5. "Money can't buy happiness".
6. "The best things in life are free".
1. It is easy to be brought into an advertisement that seems to be showing so much fun and laughter if only a person would buy the product being advertised. Some advertisements seem to offer instant popularity or instant answers to longstanding problems.
We can feel drawn to the enticing and intriguingly interesting thought of such a good deal and the concept for such happy results. All we have to do is buy it or follow it then what we want will be ours. "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is".
2. How about buying a no guarantee tool for one dollar and it breaks the first time it is used? All that can be said is that "You get what you pay for".
3. "Dangling the carrot" is another "Old Saying" for applying practical knowledge. Horses like the treat of having a carrot to eat and if a person dangles a carrot in front of the horse then the horse will keep waking towards the carrot by following the carrot. The horse may feel free but it really has been ensnared by the manipulation of another just by "dangling the carrot".
4. Flies are drawn and attracted to sweet honey--- so--- honey can be used to entrap and catch flies. Vinegar would not attract a fly so it would not be used. "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar".
5. There is nothing on the market that can buy us happiness. There are very many rich unhappy people.
"Money can't buy happiness".
6. Somethings in life are priceless. A beautiful sunset, a starry night, a gorgeous view, feeling well and the joy of loving people, a child's artwork or handmade card, heartfelt moments and wonderful memories of them. "The best things in life are free".
