Draw water from the new well, but don't spit in the old.

Accepting the new, without denying the old: "Draw water from the new well" symbolizes openness to new opportunities, knowledge, and experience. This is a call to take advantage of new things and develop. "But don't spit in the old" reminds us not to forget and not to belittle the past, roots, traditions, and people who have helped us. Respect for the past: The old well is a symbol of something that has served us, that has been valuable to us. Even if we have found a better source, we must maintain respect for what it has given us. Gratitude and appreciation: The proverb teaches us gratitude for the people and things that have been a part of our lives. We should not forget where we came from and who has helped us along the way. Wisdom and balance: It advises us to be wise and find a balance between the new and the old, between progress and tradition. In the modern context, this proverb can be applied in many situations: At work: to learn from new technologies and methods but not to forget the experience and knowledge of older colleagues. In personal relationships: to open up to new friendships and connections but to value and maintain old ones. In society: To strive for progress and development, but not to forget our cultural heritage and traditions. Overall, the proverb is a valuable lesson in wisdom, gratitude, and balance in life

How money or power changes our perceptions

The power of money and power. In life, we often encounter people who try to compensate for their shortcomings by demonstrating material wealth or their position in power. The proverb “I may be small, but when I sit on my wallet, I become taller than everyone else” perfectly illustrates this tendency. But what actually lies behind this ostentation, and how does it affect our society?  Money has long become a symbol of power and status. In many societies, material wealth is associated with success, influence, and even intelligence. Therefore, it is not surprising that people strive to demonstrate their financial situation in order to feel more confident and significant. Those with real political power always demonstrate that they are an unavoidable factor, and we are obliged to take their point of view into account and suffer the consequences, even if we harm other people. For some people, displaying wealth or demonstrating power is a way to compensate for personal complexes or feelings of inferiority. When a person feels insecure in other aspects of their life, they may try to compensate for this through material gains or challenging those who are weaker. This tendency also has its negative consequences. It is often a false impression that material wealth or power is a criterion for success. Should we be critical of the messages that flood us from everywhere and not allow advertising suggestions to manipulate us? Should we focus on our personal qualities and skills and move forward? Should we build valuable relationships with the people around us instead of dividing ourselves? Should we seek inner satisfaction, not external recognition? It is important not to succumb to the illusion of superiority that money or power can create. True power lies in our personal qualities, not in the thickness of our wallets or the position of power we hold.

The Two Most Valuable Assets - Health and Time

 In our fast-paced world, we often forget about two of the most valuable things in life—health and time. They are inextricably linked, and investing in one invariably leads to benefits for the other. Health—the key to a longer and more fulfilling life. Health is the foundation on which we build our lives. When we are healthy, we have the energy and the opportunity to enjoy every moment. We can work, have fun, travel, and take care of our loved ones. Unfortunately, many people realize the value of health only when they lose it. Don't wait for this to happen. Start taking care of yourself today: every day is valuable time for you. Eat healthy: Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Limit processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats. Exercise regularly: Find a physical activity that you enjoy and try to practice it for at least 30 minutes a day. Get enough sleep: Get 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. A prime example is the Japanese. They are not overweight and have the longest life expectancy. Manage stress: Find ways to deal with stress, such as meditation, yoga, or walks in nature. Get regular checkups: Early detection of health problems can save lives. Investing in your health buys you time When we take care of our health, we not only feel better, but we also increase our life span. This gives us more time to enjoy the things we love, spend time with our loved ones, and achieve our goals. Time is our most valuable resource. Don’t waste it by neglecting your health. Invest in it, and you will enjoy a longer, happier, and more fulfilling life. Time and health are interdependent. Take care of your health, and you will have more time to enjoy life. No matter how much material wealth we have, it cannot be compared to health. Because I have not heard or seen anyone take anything to the other world except themselves.

If the work had an end, your grandfather would have already finished it.

Folk proverb—Many people, at first, will think that this folk proverb is used to express the idea that the work or task being discussed is endless or very difficult to complete. But the truth is very different. People keep working and think that they will succeed and that there will be an end to it someday. But when their strength leaves them, they realize that no matter what they have done, there is still no end. Therefore, a person should also find time for their family and friends.
