Always and almost everyone is told about the benefitspreliminary preparation for anything. And it does not matter what it is about, whether it is agricultural work or the surrender of a session. People's wisdom has a saying on this score: prepare a sleigh in the summer (proverb). About it and talk today.
The meaning of the proverb
Guess what it's about, it's not very difficult.Prepare a sleigh in summer: the proverb says that you must be fully armed beforehand. And this applies to all professions. Imagine what would happen if the teachers at the university did not follow the popular wisdom and were preparing somehow? Education in the country slipped to the lowest level! Students would be outraged because of a lack of knowledge of the teacher's own and incompetence. In other words, it's strange. Teachers write lectures in advance. Accountants begin to prepare monthly reports long before the deposit. Many people follow the wisdom of "Prepare a sleigh in the summer." This proverb is not invented in vain. It reflects the universal experience of the people.
How does utterance sound completely?
It is known that many sayings and phraseological unitsreach us in a truncated form. The expression we are considering is not an exception. Totally it sounds like this: prepare a sleigh in the summer, and a cart in the winter. As you can see, the meaning of the proverb has not changed, although this does not always happen.
Proverb will help students and students
Proverbs and sayings can not be consideredonly as definite instructions to action, but also as something in which the self-consciousness of the people, its reservoir of self-irony and self-criticism, is reflected. Everyone knows that a Russian person is inclined to postpone everything and then do work at the last minute. In this sense, the Germans are pedantic. They do not know how to prepare for the exam in one night, and the Russian student is a regular situation. True, to imitate such behavior in any case is not worth it. All Russian people know that the phrase "prepare a sleigh in the summer" (proverb) in itself hides the truth, but few people should. So we have to repeat it again and again in the hope that a drop of German pedantry will appear in the Russian character. Agree, it would not be bad for a Russian to become a little Germans - to prepare for classes, to come to work on time, to fulfill their obligations, to take projects on time. However, one can argue with these: then a Russian person would lose his "superpower" to do everything quickly and efficiently.
We need a proverb "Prepare a sled in the summer"(the continuation now we know) as a reminder and ideal, to which one should strive. For the sake of justice, it must be said that there are some representatives of the Russian people who have already embodied this ideal in life.
