'Have the world by the tail' = có cả thế giới đằng sau đuôi -> có một cuộc sống rất thành công, thỏa mãn và hạnh phúc; mọi thứ trong tầm kiểm soát
Ví dụ
It’s a fact: Bad things happen to good people. The Brann family seems like they have the world by the tail. Parents Darrell and Christi are hard-working; Darrell as a contractor who has lived in the county since 2001, and owns the OK Theatre, while Christi is a Wallowa County native and stay-at-home mom who home schools her children.
Malcolm Cater appeared to have the world by the tail — at least through two years of high school football with Riverhead and his freshman season at Syracuse University. Playing on a full scholarship for the Orange and wearing the same uniform No. 4 as he did for Riverhead, Cater was second on the depth chart at middle linebacker and looked destined to be a starter his sophomore (năm hai) season.
"There's highs and lows. There's days you feel like you have the world by the tail and you can be really generous and maybe improve some equipment here or your barn here or your house there, and then there's days where you're going, 'Man, I don't know if we're going to have enough to make it through the end of the year...we maybe shouldn't have made those improvements to the house,'" Geigle said. "It's kind of a like a roller coaster (tàu lượn cao tốc; người hay thay đổi cảm xúc) or arguing with yourself all the time."
