3. Don’t cry over spilled milk – this saying means that you should not brood over your past mistakes. You can not change the past but you can change the future. Learn from your mistakes and be hopeful.
4. Practice makes perfect – the more time and effort you put into learning a skill, a new language, or a particular subject, the better you will get over time.
5. No pain, no gain– this means that you may have to go through a difficult process before achieving desired results.
