    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 traced1 to a boxer2 preparing to fight an opponent3 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 recipient4 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 glitters5 is not gold
  
  Do not be fooled by worthless6 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.
