Hello! My name is Jillian and I am a senior at Penn State. The saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is an inspirational quote that I can relate to. This can relate to anything in your life. In my experience, this relates to school and other hobbies that I have been involved in. I am one to complain about homework, a test, or a project if I don't like or understand it. Is it going to kill me? No. Once I have completed the task I feel like I did something amazing, and I am a better person because of it. In the various hobbies that I participate in, this quote will always stand by the sports I have played. I played soccer my entire life, and when the weather was terrible, or my team was down, or I was having an 'off' game, I always knew it would be okay. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is something that will say, hey, you can do it. It's not the end of the world, keep going. You'll be stronger when you finish. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OT6z4wr-mJg/T6Q-H5u0hQI/AAAAAAAAE8I/sUzj2tO4UXI/s1600/Mount-Everest-Climb.jpg http://www.shape.com/blogs/working-it-out/monday-motivation-what-doesnt-kill-you-really-does-make-you-stronger The link above demonstrates a different view on the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". In this case, it is dealing with health and diet.

Yes, so true indeed. It is my philosophy of life too. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You must try everything whats make you happy and make you friends and family happy. And we have to remember: easy life don´t make you strong:)

Please look at the image at the top of the page and not the blog post posted by the blogger. The image is an example of the saying, "Life isn't fair get used to it".

This image reminds me also of the saying "being a big fish in a little pond" or "being a small fish in a big pond" when referring to how we feel in relation to the people around us, whether we feel important or insignificant.  I remember experiencing these feelings especially in coming to college.  When I first got to Penn State I didn't know many people and I felt so insignificant and lost in a sea of faces when I first got here.  Three years later, I feel more like a big fish, when I can walk around and run into people that I know and feel like I have more purpose here.

i really love the photo representation. It really sums up how you feel when something isn't going your way and you feel it isn't deserved.

Hi everybody! My name is Sarah and I'm a junior at Penn State. The saying 'don't judge a book by it's cover' is something that has been said to me throughout my life. It isn't literally talking about judging books, but it is talking about anything. It means that you shouldn't make opinions about somebody or something before you actually get to know them. The most popular example of this is when someone judges somebody based on their appearance. They are quick to think different opinions about someone based on how they look before they get to know them. This is not a good way to live your life because who knows how great someone could be if you look past their looks. Here is a video of a woman who isn't very attractive but has the most amazing talent that nobody would have guessed. At first, she looks like a frumpy old woman who was going to sing a song on national television and make a fool of herself. Many people made that judgement from just looking at the outside, not knowing what was on the inside.

This is a great example of your idiom. We tend to think of elderly people has helpless and even useless, but this woman has a wonderful talent to share. This video made us rethink the stereotype of the elderly.

This woman really showed the judges, who seemed to write her off before she even opens her mouth and then she kind of turns around this stereotype about old people or plain people, it shows not to judge people from their appearance and age.

This is a perfect example of going back to the drawing board. All the crumpled up papers are examples of the failed attempts and a new sheet is on the drawing board ready for new ideas!

This website explains what this phrase means.  It also includes some information about where the phrase came from! 

This statement really relates to me because my mom used to say it to me all the time growing up because I used to freak out about every little thing, so whenever I would my mom would just tell me that "there's no use crying over spilt milk". This phrase meant for me that there was no use crying or worrying about something small as spilling milk.

It will heal before you're married is a reassuring way to remind a physically or emotionally injured child that everything will be okay with time. Here you see a mother comforting a child after he falls off his bike, which is probably the perfect time for a person to use this phrase, "It will heal before you're married."

So true:) Child forgets more easily. Adult´s should learn something for children, joy of life!! Nice picture indeed:)
