I chose this image to help illustrate the phrase, "Does that ring a bell?", which I used to use throughout my childhood. This image of a mug is an example of how the phrase can be used. Pavlov is a famous psychologist and scientist, and this mug begs the question, does this person (Pavlov) "ring a bell", or in other words sound familiar to you?

That picture is good to illustrate your phrase (that link didn't work btw). Do you think that phrase "does that ring a bell" is just good or do you see something not so good in it? How people used it in school? In Finland, teacher usually asks students something and then says "does that ring a bell". It's maybe quite old-fashioned way to teach and I think it's better if students remember word (Pavlov example) for themselves.
Don't cry over spilled milk - 0 views

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.
-
This also reminds me of don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.

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, That photo is really pretty and interesting! I'm maybe little naïve when I think that you can choose the way people treat you. If you let them treat you badly, life usually won't be fair but if you change your attitude, and life is still not fair, then I let people say "that's not fair". You never have to get used to it. We have to make everything we can, so life is fair for us. And yes, there are people who are richer than you or prettier than you but it's you own attitude affects. Look that link, it will tell you how I think that beauty thing example: http://mariecoquette.tumblr.com/post/32878784785
Healthy Inspiration: What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger - Shape Magazine - 0 views

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.

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.
-
-
I love saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" it's just really hard to remember in everyday life. I also think like that but always when I first time meet someone I watch how he looks. Is he tall and what he's wearing. It's really superficial and I try not to do that. How you teach that phrase to children when you (or at least I) judge a book by it's cover?

It's interesting that the image of the shopper is a woman. This follows the stereotype of women spending what men earn. The image seems to be for other women who can relate to the shopping habit this image refers to.

I understand what this is saying about being frugal. My grandparents grew up in the depression, and constatntly save save save money. I also think about the extrem couponers.

I live by this quote. Going to thrift stores and going to yard sales take up most of my shopping. My roommate thinks it is gross to wear other people's hamidowns, but when i see the get the most bang for your buck, I think of the quote, "One man's trash is another one's treasure."
-
As a college student. I feel like I am always looking to save my money, and get more "bang for my buck" as you are demonstrating with this saying and image. I love being able to get great deals and save money.

Hi Leah, I'm a sale assistant so this is quite interesting topic for me. When I'm at work, I look at the people and think "that woman can be a millionaire". That helps me to sell when I don't wonder "She's poor, she can't buy anything". I think we should see the line between buying way too much and just spending money wisely.

Our instructions of what to do and discuss about here in diigo were rather different than yours but we have now been told to share a saying as well. :) So here goes: "Köyhän ei kannata ostaa halpaa" translated "Poor shouldn't by cheap." Mainly it suggests that cheap things are ofter of rather poor quality, so someone who doesn't have too much money (and who does?) shouldn't go for the cheapest option. A cheap product will more likely break before its time and make the person spend more money to get another product on its place. I remember my parents stating this many times in my childhood, usually right after my father had bought some gadget for his garage (for example a three euro sanding machine) that lasted like 20 minutes. ;) I would say this saying has a lot of thrut in it and I try to remember it when I buy something I really need. Last time I thought about it when we bought my fiancé a pair of shoes that costed a lot but will last many years of constat use. And it's also a ecological way of thinking! :)

Hi! We just got intructions to add a pciture that illustrates or otherwise reflects the saying. So here it comes (gosh it's a long link): http://www.google.fi/imgres?start=69&num=10&um=1&hl=fi&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:fi:official&biw=1280&bih=668&tbm=isch&tbnid=b_hIXr_IfPnllM:&imgrefurl=http://veerrasglamour.blogspot.com/2010/01/lanzarote-part-ii.html&docid=2P5W6eyf5LmHMM&imgurl=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7c5IKjU2pdw/S0TSw37-LiI/AAAAAAAADLo/ghwmaRI4oyk/s400/IMG_5884.JPG&w=300&h=400&ei=86GSUI_2FoLk4QT_l4GwAg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=528&sig=117896242144692104989&sqi=2&page=4&tbnh=138&tbnw=103&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,i:190&tx=63&ty=62 I think this illustrates very well what happens when you by a cheap pair of shoes (that were so pretty...) instead of a proper quality. :)
