'A watched pot never boils' = cứ ngồi nhìn cái ấm mãi không thấy sôi -> khi bạn trông chờ điều gì đó xảy ra bạn thường tập trung quá nhiều vào nó, khiến cảm giác chờ đợi như dài thêm. Cái này là thời gian tâm lý nhé các bạn.
Ví dụ
A watched pot never boils and a watched deal (giảm giá, trao đổi) on pots never ends up in your kitchen, so take advantage of this classic set that has everything you need for pasta night, omelettes (trứng ốp-lết), and steamed vegetables.
But as Nietzsche writes, “In order to see much, one must learn to look away from oneself.” Put differently, a watched pot never boils. You often have to walk away from the problem—literally (theo nghĩa đen) and metaphorically (phép ẩn dụ)—for the answer to arrive.
”A watched pot never boils.” I have heard that line since I was a child. I know it is not valid. If you watch a pot of water over a flame (ngọn lửa) long enough, it will start boiling. The problem is, most people do not have the patience (kiên nhẫn) to sit there long enough, looking at nothing more than a pot of water getting hotter waiting for it to boil.
