你們兄弟在家裡常常相鬥，出去到外頭就膽小無用，俗話說：「牛圈裡鬥母牛。」怎麼可能會興旺呢？

餐廳剛聘請的那幾位員工，什麼事情都不會做，還很常將碗盤摔壞，真的是「成事不足，敗事有餘」。

你剛出社會開始上班，不要事事都膽怯，人家說「依樣畫葫蘆，不然就自己想法子」，多做幾次就會了。

雖然俗諺說：「年紀大的人較沉穩，年輕人太過輕浮莽撞。」不過如果都不讓年輕人出面，他也永遠學不會。工作讓年輕人負責，前輩在旁邊指導，才能傳承經驗。

父母為小孩著想是自然天性，難怪人家說：「小時候煩惱他長不大，長大了煩惱他不結婚」，不過孩子早晚要為他們自己的人生負責，為人父母也要學會放手。

傻瓜！你這叫「偷吃卻不知道該擦嘴」，老是拿那張偷撕的圖出來看，現在大家全都知道那本書是你撕破的了。

他年少輕狂，不了解父母的苦心，還常常跟他們唱反調，直到他當父母了，才體會到「養兒方知父母恩」的道理。

人家說：「勸告各位要孝順父母，否則連畜牲都不如。」像你這樣忤逆父母親，實在很不應該。

他這個人比較直，不會變通，不過「天生我才必有用」，交代他做不需要變通的事，他都會照規矩做，不會拖拖拉拉、不會敷衍，很有可取之處。
