1."A watched pot never boils."

If something takes time to finish, don't watch it too closely because it will seem like it's taking forever.

2."Beggars can't be choosers."

If you're asking for a favor from someone else, you have to take whatever they give you.

3."Actions speak louder than words."

Just saying that you'll do something doesn't mean much. Actually doing it is harder and more meaningful.

4."If it ain't broke, don't fix it."Don't try to improve .

Don't try to improve something that already works fairly well. You'll probably end up causing new problems.

5."Practice makes perfect."

You have to practice a skill a lot to become good at it.

6."Too many cooks spoil the broth."

When there are too many people trying to lead and give their opinions, it's confusing and leads to bad results. Jobs and projects should have one or two strong leaders.

7."Easy come, easy go."

When you get money quickly, like by winning it, it's easy to spend it or lose it quickly as well.(easy come easy go... Bruno Mars ,i love him :)) 

8."Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

If someone's paying you or helping you out, you have to be careful not to make them angry or say bad things about them.

9."All good things must come to an end."

You can't keep having good luck or fun forever; eventually it will stop.

10."If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

When you try to change someone's behavior and it doesn't work, you might have to change instead. For example, if you're trying to get your classmates to focus on studying but they want to party, maybe you should just party with them.
