"Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship" nghĩa là gì?
27 Oct, 2020
"Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship" = chú ý tới phí tổn, rò gỉ nhẹ cũng đủ để làm con thuyền to chìm -> nghĩa là chi tiêu không kiểm soát với lượng nhỏ lâu dần cũng sẽ trắng tay.
Ví dụ
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship." He perfectly explains the effect small expenses can have on personal finances (tài chính). Every little bit adds up when you are watching your spending.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.” As the Covid-19 pandemic wreaks (trút giận) havoc (tàn phá) across the world, businesses in the U.S. have not been left unscathed. In fact, almost 2% of small businesses in America have shut down permanently, according to an April survey by researchers from leading universities.
If taking a risk doesn’t hinder (cản trở) decisions even though the investors are not trustworthy, then confidence in your product or service becomes mandatory (bắt buộc). Quoting Benjamin Franklin, the man who tried till he succeeded, “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.” Spending within your means and needs remains a priority when finance is murky (u ám).
One of my favorite quotes comes from Benjamin Franklin: “Beware of little expenses, a small leak will sink a great ship.” My grandmother Big Mama had a similar mantra (thần chú). She said: “You can’t have a dollar without a penny.” And by that she meant that every penny is important. Franklin and Big Mama influenced my own twist on the notion that small purchases add up. So to my children I warn, “Never say something like, ‘It’s just $3.’ ”
