quote, "All that glitters is not gold." Glitters, you know is very shiny. It reflects light off of it. It's very

shiny. So we do hear this a lot. All that glitters is not gold that often comes

up. So let's take a look at the note here. This is a quote from Shakespeare's

"Merchant of Venice." So that was the play that it was originally in. In this play

Portia's dad had a suitor test for his daughter to find her a husband. So Portia

of course was one of the main girl characters of the story. And at this

point in the story I think Portia' s dad was already dead. But he still had this

test to try to choose the right man for her. Let's continue. The test consisted of

three caskets. One was made of lead, one was made of silver, and one was made of

gold. Whoever guessed which box Portia's picture was in would marry her. So

this is where this phrase originally comes from. A Moroccan prince chose the

gold. So he was one of the suitors that wanted to marry her and he had to choose

and he ended up thinking well you know she's so beautiful and she's so great

must be in the gold one. He chose the gold so the Morocco prince chose the gold.

And inside he got the message, " All that glitters is not gold," The idea was whoever

chose the gold box was too shallow for his daughter. So this is the origin of

this of this phrase which we find out later becomes a proverb. So let's

continue. This phrase was also used by JR. Tolkien in "Lord of the Rings. " Yeah.

They used it a lot. Of course, you know with the ring. The ring gave you power, but you

know, if you follow the Lord of the Rings series. If you wore that ring

too long. It started to, you know, almost turn you into an evil person. The power

you know , the power corrupted you. And made you kind of evil or bad. So this

also applied to that. All that glitters is not gold, in that sense. All right. And

let's continue. Today this quote has become a famous proverb which means that

not everything that is shiny or attractive on the outside, on the surface

is of high value. This can be used about people or things that promised to be valuable

but turned out not to be. So let's look at one example here. It's a a/b part. All right and

A says the life of being a celebrity it's not at all it's cracked up to be. A

lot of people imagine , you know, it's a perfect live. Stardom, wealth, and so on. You

may have to sacrifice too much to make it. To make it, to become successful. Even

your pride and self-respect. And of course B may say, well all that glitters

is not gold. All right Okay here we say, your pride and your self-respect. You know recently, in this

past year we learned that you know, many there were many directors , like you know

Harvey Weinstein. That sometimes forced or intimidated women into sleeping

with him. You know , the casting couch thing. In order to make it. In order to

become big. So this in this sense, even though many people think you know being

a celebrity is , it's good but you sacrifice a lot. You may have to

sacrifice your freedom or you may even have to sacrifice yourself in this way too.

So again, all that glitters is not gold. Ok I hope you got it. I hope it was

informative. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
