Proverbs are popular around the world. Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The other is You are what you eat. Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保證的）. Another proverb warns do not put all your eggs in one basket. This means you should not put all of your resources（資源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time. Here is more advice: If at first you don39。t succeed, try, try again. Also, Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says, There is no use crying over spilled milk. Do you agree with the proverb Children should be seen and not heard? Maybe you have told your children that hard work never hurt anyone. But other people say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.
