"Del
plato a la boca se cae la sopa."
There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip
If we don't want to look foolish, we shouldn't boast
about something we haven't achieved yet. Plans can fall through.
“Camaron
que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente.”
The early bird gets the worm.
You have to be alert and active to achieve something in
life. The one who daydreams along the way will never get to the
finish line.
"Al
mal tiempo, buena cara."
Face difficulties with a smile.
There's no better antidote for difficult or problematic
times than meeting them with self-assurance and optimism. If we
smile and look at things more positively. We will more easily
overcome our problems.
"Al
que a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le cobija."
Stick with the winners.
This saying refers to the care we should take in
choosing our friends. If you form relationships with people who are
more capable and high-minded, you'll get better results than if you
choose people with problems or who are mediocre.
"El
que nace pa' maceta, no sale del corredor."
A leopard never changes his spots.
In other words, the mediocre person will always be
mediocre (never successful).
Until
next time, and I won't tell you what I've got in store for you then,
because "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip"!
