I like proverbs, because we can notice a meaning even though we don't say it clearly and that part is really interesting. I think there are some similar things that I know in my country's version but there are also things that I can't understand clearly. In this proverbs, I can understand 'Stars are not seen bt sunshine' and 'The night is dark, but the apples are counted' when I just got focused on fact, but can't get a lesson in it. I think I can guess others slightly.

'Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested' and 'Skillful sailors aren't made by smooth seas' can be tied up together because both means 'practice makes perfect'. I think both represent the lesson that we have to work hard if we want to success. I experienced this in the high school and still today. We spend time to get good score on the test, to do well in the game or exercise, or to develop other skills and we actually do well when the time we spent increases. I think this relationship will continue forever.. So I keep these in my mind all the time.:)
