In life we meet a lot of people and come across numerous things. Many people appear to be extremely warm and friendly initially. However, in most cases as we get to know them we find out that they are not that nice. Their actual personality is hidden behind the fake mask they wear to build relationships for their personal gain.
Similarly, we see several attractive things in the market. We feel the urge to purchase them and bring them home as they seem irresistible. However, when we begin to use them, we often realise that it only looks good at the surface level and is not very useful or is low quality. The famous saying, ‘all that glitters is not gold’ implies just the same.
As per this saying, we must not trust anyone easily. We must take our time to learn about a person before we establish a deep bond with them. Likewise, we must not purchase anything big only because it looks good. We must assess it, check its quality and utility and only then we must go for it. This also holds true for job and business opportunities and almost everything in life. Many things appear to be good from a distance but they are not actually good for us.
The saying ‘all that glitters is not gold’ has evolved from the old phrase ‘all that glisters is not gold’ which was coined by the famous English author, William Shakespeare. It found mention in his play, The Merchant of Venice published back in 1596. ‘Glister’ was eventually replaced by ‘glitter’ as the phrase gained popularity.
All That Glitters Is Not Gold:
Gold is a most precious and famous element found on our earth, it has a shining coating of glitter. But still we couldn't consider the glitter as a gold.
All the other substances are just a colour which looks like a gold. In this world there are many things/objects probably they shine but they are not given value as a gold. These glitters and other substances can only be attractive, similarly glitters are not a gold.
A best example to prove that "All That Glitters Is Not Gold" is that in our country there are lots of scientifists, great persons unknown but we don't consider everone as great this is because some doesn't know to be talented and come forward to their goals.
In this way they loose their value, similarly gold is gold and all other glitters and shining substances are not a gold.
Conclusion: Never be thinking your the great in everything without knowing who your actually. (Gold is gold, glitter is glitter)....Also be happy with what you are and have.
