  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 107. The proverb today is \" live and

  • learn. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. This proverb is used after one has

  • learned something from experience, especially through your mistakes. All right. That's the first way we might use it. Or a second way we might use it is use for

  • expressing surprise and learning or discovering something new. You have just

  • learned or you just realize is really true or correct. Then you would say live

  • and learn too. So even if you didn't do it yourself, but you experienced about it,

  • you can also say live and learn All right. Let's look at several examples

  • here . All right. Example number one. I once took an overnight train. A train trip in

  • Mexico and all the lights in the cars were out during the whole entire trip.

  • Most of the passengers carried flashlights and when the conductor got

  • on the train he used his flashlights to actually

  • check tickets. Now before this you know I had traveled through Europe and I had

  • gone on many overnight trains it was never like that but this was it really

  • surprised me that in Mexico that the all the lights of all the cars were

  • completely out and even between stop sometimes vendors would come on the

  • train still try to sell you stuff in the dark. But they had flashlights too showing you what they were selling.

  • So it was an interesting experience. Even though , we say even though

  • it was an interesting experience, it was very uncomfortable and I couldn't get

  • any sleep or rest. After the experience all I could say was well live and learn. Well

  • at least in Mexico I I went back to taking ...traveling the other way Ijust

  • took over night buses. I wouldn't take an overnight train anymore . I didn't want to

  • be in the train with the car where's everything everything is completely dark.

  • Many of the other passengers I guess they were experienced. They came with

  • flashlights. They all had their little flashlights but it was a different

  • experience. Now I don't know if this is still this way now. This was over 20

  • years ago. Maybe over 25 years ago that I did that.

  • But that was that was quite an experience. But anyway this is one where

  • you say live and learn. Let's look at number two.

  • You mean that story reported all over the news turned out to be a hoax.

  • I guess fake news is real. Live and learn. Well sometimes you just discover

  • something real like something oh well, I guess that's the way it really is.

  • Sometimes they report fake stories. Or number three here. I used to be up 30% on

  • that stock, but I held on to it too long. Yes anybody whoever invested in the stock

  • market you might have to learn a lot of lessons. You might make mistakes. Holding

  • a stock too long selling it too soon or whatever it is that you do,

  • there's a lot of mistakes you can make. But this would be a typical one. I held

  • on too long and by the time I sold it. It was down 30% . Oh

  • at one point you could have sold it and made 30 percent by the time you did sell

  • it you actually lost thirty percent of what you were you know or whatever you

  • was your original price they you paid. Okay. Good. Let's look at number four.

  • This would be the last example here. I opened my own coffee shop where my own

  • shop without any previous business experience and I ended up going out of

  • business in six months. All right. So this is like an a/b one two and the last one

  • was an AV one as well and they say well live and learn. So that's what you might

  • do. Well I invested in this and didn't work out. Well live and learn. So remember

  • live and learn. The live part really is from experience you go through the

  • experience and you learn by the experience. So you live and learn. Okay.

  • Anyway I hope you got it. hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.

  • Bye-bye.
