Idiomatic expressions
Q Read the short story about an accomplished businessman who happily gave
advice to young people whom he mentored and underline all the idiomatic
expressions used in the story. Also mention the meanings of these idioms and use
any five idioms in the sentences of your own
John is an accomplished successful businessman who is quite popular as a mentor. He
enjoys showing young professionals the ropes. The first thing he says is that his career
has not always been smooth sailing. In fact, he learned a number of lessons along the
way. "First and foremost," John said, "don't believe that success is ever manna from
heaven." He has met many people with similar rags-to-riches stories and learned that a lot
of hard work went into their success. John believes in hard work but also in recognizing
the right opportunities:
"It's absolutely essential to never spread yourself too thin. If you have too many irons in
the fire, you'll certainly miss out on real opportunity. I've seen people as busy as a bee
who never really seem to do anything." You'll probably agree that it's impossible to
really concentrate if you have to worry about 50 different things. Another good lesson is
that it's important to know which side your bread is bultered on and to give that activity
your full attention. In other words. you need to ride the gravy train. Don't start looking for
new cliallenges if everything is working out for the best.
The most important ability of any successful entrepreneur, John stressed, is to have the
presence of mind not to simply take advantage of an opportunity but also to keep your
eye on the ball. Some people are quick on the uptake, but then they get bored. It's
important to be consistent and not spread yourself too thin. Finally, make sure never to
show your hand to your opponents. That's how to be successful, according to John.
