When a person wants to say a warning aboutSomeone, he says: "Look, he gently pushes, but hard to sleep." We will analyze today the meaning of the proverb, and we also learn who prefers to cook "uncomfortable beds" for the interlocutor.
Meaning
There is no special riddle here.The expression "Gently steklet, but hard to sleep" means that a person does not say what he thinks. Rather, his speech has a subtext directly opposite to the content. And yet, one can not do without an example.
Network marketing as an example
Everyone during the job search eitherotherwise fell into the offices, which are, as a rule, in the cellars and other unpresentable places. These people are "employees of a large firm", and they offer a gullible person to become their "business partner." Many people know what this ends up: firstly, newly-made "employees" are offered to purchase brochures of 100 rubles each, and then more. And all because about any representative of the network company you can say: "It gently steklet, but hard to sleep."
Recruitment, when they do not tell the whole truth
Another less extreme and unpleasant example.When a person is interviewed for work, the employer or his representative is flooded with nightingales about what a good and successful company they have, what high demands, a big salary. But there is not a word about what this salary is about, how it is formed. Not a word about delays until late at work, about the despotic head of the department, who will tyrannize the newly arrived employee. The representative of the company, in whatever rank he was, "gently steklet", yes "hard to sleep."
How to understand that people are preparing an "uncomfortable bed"?
To understand whether a proverb is suitable or not for describing the situation in which a person has gotten, one must think about three questions:
- Are not too bright and cloudless prospects drawn.
- How well a person knows who gives him information.
- And does anyone who talks to him have a vested interest in agreeing to an undertaking.
Answering these simple questions, it is possible to understand what position a person has got and so desperately. A friend will not cook a "hard bed". He does not need it. Although it all depends on the "quality" of a friend.
Especially it is necessary to be attentive when it comes to financial and material issues.
The tone of expression
It can be seen from the examples that the tonality of the expressionnegative. No one in my head will come to praise in this way. Because the proverb "Gently steklet, yes hard to sleep" speaks of the man's dvojdushi, which, of course, does not paint him.
