Saying of the Day

1. “The secret of discipline is motivation. When a person is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself.”

          - When you intrinsically have a desire toward something you will do it at any cost.

2. All that glitters are not gold

          - The attractive exterior of something is not a good indicator of its real nature. It may look valuable, but not be valuable.

3. Bad news travels fast

          - “Bad news” means news about “bad” things like accidents, death, illness, etc. People tend to tell this type of news quickly. But “good news” passing an exam, winning some money, getting a job, etc travels more slowly.

4. Many a true word is spoken in jest

          - Something said as a joke may often contain wisdom and truth.

          Note: Jest (noun): a joke
