"A leopard can't change his spots" nghĩa là gì?

Hãy tự tin là chính bạn thôi, không cần thay đổi để làm vừa lòng người khác. Photo courtesy: firaswhaidar 

"A leopard can't change his spots" = một con báo không thể thay đổi các đốm của nó -> bản chất khó thay đổi, tương tự câu giang sơn dễ đổi, bản tính khó rời. 

Ví dụ 
They say a leopard never changes its spots. The same could be said about Albert Flick. The 77-year-old man was previously convicted (kết án) of fatally stabbing his wife (đâm chết vợ), Sandra, back in 1979. A crime he spent 25 years in prison for. 

If someone were not familiar with Trump‘s personal style, they could probably be bluffed (bị lừa) and taken advantage of (bị lợi dụng). As the saying goes, a leopard can‘t change its spots. After Trump became US President, he showed his true colors (bản chất) to the world.  
She empathizes (thấu cảm) with his situation and hopes her love will heal him. Then she gets upset when this guy who has never had a serious relationship in his life doesn’t want a serious relationship with her, or fools around with other girls. A leopard can’t change its spots. You can’t invest in a guy who clearly isn’t marriage material (trọng hôn nhân) and then get upset when he won’t give you the commitment (cam kết) you want.
