  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 131. The proverb

  • today is if you snooze you lose. Okay. Let's take a look at the note . To snooze

  • means to sleep for a short time, especially a nap. So we often say to take

  • a snooze or go for a snooze. So basically if you snooze you know, basically you're

  • sleeping probably for a short period of time. Let's continue. This proverb

  • basically means if you don't act quickly you won't get what you want. All right.

  • Let's continue. Even though, take a snooze usually means to take a nap, in this

  • proverb it basically means to not be paying attention , especially when

  • opportunity knocks. So if you're not paying attention, you won't see the good

  • opportunity. You won't be able to ...you won't be able to take advantage of it. So

  • it's like you'll be snoozing . You'll be sleeping. Like you know snoring when the

  • opportunity comes and you'll miss it. So that's what we mean. So if you snooze , you

  • lose. Okay. Anyway, let's look at a couple of examples here. Example number one. If

  • you want to make money in the stock market you need to do your homework.

  • Homework always means research, in the sense and keep updated with the sudden

  • changes in the market. If you snooze , you lose. So if you're not paying attention,

  • like daily or every day or every other day or maybe throughout the day, you may

  • miss the good opportunity. So if you snooze, you lose. Okay number two here. I

  • want to go to that annual clearance sale first thing in the morning. A lot of

  • departments stores, maybe once a year they'll have a big clearance sale.

  • Usually a lot of people will go, but maybe you want to be one of the first

  • people there because you know if they still have some really good stuff left,

  • probably the best stuff will be gone,if you wait until the afternoon. So that's

  • what they say here. If you... if you wait too long all the best bargains will be

  • sold out. Remember if you snooze, you lose Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope

  • it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
