the going gets tough, the tough get going. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.

The proverb basically means when times are difficult or when one is in a

difficult situation, the toughest people or the people with the strongest will

and determination are the ones that will try harder and never give up. Okay. Let's

continue. In this proverb, there are two different meanings for both the

words going and tough. The first going refers to the times or situation. So when

the going ... when this situation... when the situation is this way. When the going.

So it's a situation. The second going refers to moving into action. So when the

going gets tough. When those when the times are tough, the tough get going. The

tough move into action. They do things. All right and then the word tough here. The

first stuff refers also to difficult times. When the going gets tough. When

things in your life get difficult. The tough get going you know, but here the

tough meaning people that are tough. People that are durable So the second

meaning means durable or able to bear discomfort. They're not an easy pushover.

They're not a person that gives up easily. So the tough get going. Again the

tough move into action. Okay. Let's continue. There are two possible origins

of this proverb. Some say it was a quote by Joseph P Kennedy the father of the

President John F Kennedy who was a businessman and investor. Okay. Or the

second possible origin comes from the football coach John Thomas. John

who managed the Green Hornet's you know, football team.

Okay. The quote was dated to September 1953 and reported in the newspaper "The

Corpus Christi Caller. Okay. So we actually do have a date on this one. The other one

where not sure the date. But it's but a lot of people said that that that

Kennedy's father had said it. The proverb was popularized more in the

1980s due to a song by Billy ocean. And the video was from the movie "The Jewel

of the Nile. " A very popular movie in the 1980s. Both the actor Michael Douglas and

the actress Kathleen Turner were both young. Michael Douglas was very handsome

Kathleen Turner was young and she was very attractive at that time. And of

course that movie was very, very popular. And then that was the time when

music videos were very ,very popular on MTV. So that video got to be shown a lot

and you know, it was a song people got to hear that

That proverb repeated over and over again. Okay. Let's continue and we have

just a couple of examples John Thomas you know, the coach we just talked about

before. So when the going gets tough the tough get going as a way to encourage

players. Or you know, he said that in his speeches you know, to you know to prove

you know, this is this is what you need. So it's so today it could still be used

in sports too Like by coaches trying to stimulate or encourage their players to

try harder. Okay and we could also say number two here. The proverb you know,

when the going gets tough the tough get going is often used in business training

seminars. Here especially for salespeople or managers or something like that. Okay.

Anyway, I hope you got it hope you found it informative. Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.
