That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    This proverb means that less gifted people who learn and work consistently can lead more succesful lives than highly intelligent people who are lazy.

    It’s better to do something slowly than quickly.

  3. Amy Estrada

    Yes, very good Katrin.

  4. Amy Estrada

    Good Hellem.

  5. Greg

    Similar in meaning if you drive (go) slower then you will go futher.

  6. Nia

    This one means working slowly but constantly will lead to success. It’s better than working fast for a short while and do not continue

  7. Amy Estrada

    Nice Greg. Sometimes rushing doesn’t accomplish the goal like doing something slowly and thoughtfully. Very good.

  8. Amy Estrada

    Yes Nia, that is correct.
