Hello! My name is Krista and I'm studying craft sciences and art pedagogy at University of Helsinki. This is my 2nd year. My mom teached me quite many sayings while I was a child and I've continued using them a lot. One idiom I remember quite well is "Hullu ei huomaa, viisas ei virka mitään" which could be translated to "A fool man won't notice and a wise man won't say anything". I see this in two different ways. First, it means to me that it isn't end of the world to fail sometimes - most people won't even notice your failure. And most of them who notice won't be too hard on you. On the other way I think this idiom can be a guideline how we should be treat each other. If you don't have anything nice to say, then sometimes it's better say nothing. To cut it short, my idiom is about being merciful to yourself and others :) http://heatherlydee.blogspot.fi/2011/09/commandment-8-what-would-i-do-if-i.html I like especially the second picture in this blog post. It's a good continuation for my saying.
