    Hi my name is Paula Strada and I am a junior at Penn State. One phrase I heard a lot growing up was "don't cry over spilled milk." This phrase is used when something happens, usually and accident, and someone gets more upset than the situation calls for. By saying "don't cry over spilled milk" you're asking the person to calm down, and realize that it's not something to dwell on. This phrase is common between adults and children. Children tend to get upset, or even cry, when they make a mistake on accident and don't understand that adults will not be upset with them. This phrase helps the child calm down. I still hear this phrase as an adult as well. As a stressed college student its easy to get upset about little things that don't go as planned. http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/05/world/europe/qmilch-milk-sustainable-fashion/index.html This link is to an article on CNN about a designer using fabric made out of milk instead of water. There no need to cry over your spilled milk now because it could be used for an eco-friendly fabric!

    Hi! We actually have a a common phrase with a very similar meaning in Finnish languege: "Älä tee kärpäsestä härkästä." It sounds funny for you I bet! ;) I would translate it like this: "Don't make a fly into a bull." It also states that someone is making too much of a fuss of a small thing.

      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:)

    Hey! We have this same saying in Finnish languege too: "Mikä ei tapa, vahvistaa." :) It is a common statement in very similar situations you just described.

    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.
