Answer 1

Answer:

${\bold{\purple{\huge{Proverb}}}}$

Explanation:

There is an old saying that ‘Well begun is half done.’ Usually, what it is fearful for us is to experience something for the first time. Therefore, since we equipped the courage to take the initial step of it, what only left is the half, the effort to maintain the courage till the end, cause most impossibility come from our scared mind and preconception that ‘I might not be able to do it’.

In this sense, the proverb actually comes to the point of importance of ‘starting.’ If we hesitate to face the difficulty and take the easy way from the first, it tends to goes on and reaches the result of being failed. However, if we challenge it once, it takes less fear to confront remain problems thinking ‘I have already overcome the first obstacle and what will get worse.’

Briefly, the proverb ‘Well begun is half done’ does not actually mean as it is written, but it means that the bravery to make attempt is valuable cause we cannot measure the future event without doing real act and experience it.

People live in stereotype in many times. It means they block themselves from achieving the success. As we get stubborn to our thought, we even not try to do it from the first place. A flea which has been captured in the box cannot jump out of it even later the box is opened as time goes by although it can easily do that if it jumps. Our worries are same. They constrain us from getting closer to the real problem. In this situation, the proverb ‘Well begun is half done’ is needed. If you had entered to the situation, there might be some exit also. We should not worry before experience it and we should bravely make trial. And it is already half done.

However, there is also Korean old saying that ‘If you stop in the middle, it is no better than not doing it.’ As compared to the previous one, it is quite contrasting. This does not give any meaning in beginning, but the meaning appear when we totally finish and reach the end. However, what it implies is quite different. The personality this proverb truly value is patience, the patience that we can keep up the work that we had started. It says if we determined to attempt, we should be responsible till the end comes out.

Similar with the ‘Well begun is half done’ but little different, there is also saying that ‘Do ‘so’ not Say ‘so’.’ In lot of cases, we design all beautiful and elaborate plan but not ‘do’ it. As simple example, many students make up the daily schedule as the vacation start, waking early in the morning, study hard and etc. But, what is the reality? From the first morning, they turn off the alarm unconsciously. Many people worry about their diet and plan to do exercise. However, unfortunately, it rains on first day, it so cold on second day, and it is so tired on third day…as goes on and on. Thus, the proverb underline it is really important to start ‘action’ not just ‘words’. Importance of ‘starting’ is similar, but more specifically, the ‘action’.
