  11------Easy does it
          Some things require gentleness for success. One should not push too hard.
Force may cause damage
          12-----The bigger they are, the harder they fall
          Do not be discouraged by the size of your problem or the fame of your
competitor. (the saying is traced to a boxer preparing to fight an opponent much
larger than he was.)
          13-----All is well that ends well
          If we can come to a successful conclusion, let us forget about the pain and
mistakes along the way.
          14-----Go for it
          Go ahead and try to achieve your goal. Don't worry about failing. Similar
to this proverb--God provides food to every bird, but he won't cast to its nest,
you got to earn it.
          15-----Every little bit helps
          If someone apologizes for giving only a small gift, the recipient may
encourage the giver by quoting this proverb. This is especially true if there is
a huge job to do or a huge amount of money to be raised from many people.
          16-----Look before you leap
          Don't jump into a situation carelessly. You may land in difficulty.
          17-----All that glitters is not gold
          Do not be fooled by worthless things that seem valuable or look
attractive.
          "Fool's gold " is the popular name for a kind of stone that glitters like
gold but contains no gold at all.
          18------Curiosity killed the cat
          Do not ask too many questions or become too curious about things. You may
get yourself into trouble like a cat that does not see the danger in a new
situation.
          19-----Don't put all your eggs in one basket
          Do not risk everything in one place or on one project. Divide your sources
that one failure will not ruin you. Similar to this proverb---Do not use both
feet to test the depth of the river.
          20-----Don't bite off more than you can chew
          Do not attempt something too large for you to handle.
