During my childhood, I used to play soccer inside the house with my brother and cousin,and my parents were not happy about it.We had a big guest room that we mostly played in,and it was vacant at most of the time. My mother warned us not to play their, so that we won't break anything, but it was spacious that it urged us to play in there.

One day, when we were playing I accidentally kicked the ball right in the window and it broke, although the ball was light, and I was surprised and worried. I tried to act normal pretending that nothing happened, but it was so obvious that my parents knew about it the day after,"Who broke the window" my father said, then I quickly admitted about what happened, and surprisingly my father didn't yell at me neither did he punish me, for telling him the truth from the beginning.

     I liked all of these proverbs, and I can almost relate to all of them, but the best in my opinion is number 1 and 7, the ones that says "Rome wasn't built in a day," and "Skillful sailors aren't made by smooth seas". I can relate this to a lot of famous athletes and some musicians, in fact it can be related to any hardworking person. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world's best soccer players, he used to take extra training for himself just to remain the best between his teammates, his father passed away when he was in an early age, but now he is a world class soccer player. There is a quote that I like that might have the same meaning, and it says "The sooner you step away from the comfort zone; the sooner you realize that it really wasn't all that comfortable." Eddie Harris Jr. 

    I also liked this proverb, "Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble", this is a good method for people to live happily because people should forget about bad things that they have done, and move on, so that it won't distract them from having a happy life. Writing the the good things in a piece of marble gives people confidence, and has a positive effect in their life.

  The proverb, "He ran away from the rain and was caught by hailstorm" has a similar meaning from a quote that came from my religion by Imam Ali (as) and it says "Our affairs are attached to the destiny decreed by Allah, even our best plans may lead us to destruction". Sometimes we should appreciate what we have, and be thankful for god for everything, instead of being greedy, and try to get more and more.
