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 it is essential to communicate with others, otherwise one will miss out on great opportunities.

    This proverb means, if we don’t pay attention and do something quickly, we will miss out on a great opportunity

    Not quite Katrin. It is not really about communication, rather hesitation. If you sleep late or if you don’t act in a timely manner, you will lose out on opportunities.
