how about a long term game, a proverb a day?   no obligation, no pressure, one miniute to make one, a few seconds to read one. Only the first post counts, if you see someone already posted one, hold on to next day; No problem if duplicated, coz we all forget, need to refresh, except 梅雨潭最强大脑不用refresh.  

Cheapest is the dearest (=most expencive). said to mean that: Cheap things cause you to spend more money because they break easily and you have to replace ("Dear" in this sense is another word for "expensive.")

It's a good idea! I'm cautiously optimistic :-)

As for the proverbs, I'd love to see some details, e.g., where they are from.

It'll be the best if one can add something personal, just to differentiate from AI produce.

Not that ChatGPT's not good, by the way.

A proverb a day: It takes a village to raise a child.

"It takes a village to raise a child" is a proverb that means that an entire community of people must provide for children and interact positively with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.

One dimension of it is that neighbors can share with each other on how to best raise childrien. When a kid misbehaves and his or her parents tend to be annoyed or outraged, other parents can help calm the parents down, provide perspectives, and share the best way to deal with the misbehaving of children.  The misbehaving could be an indicator of the child's need for attention. Maybe the source of the child's mishehaving is the parent themselves, reflecting how children themselves are treated at home. Such sharing of wisdom among parents will help better raise children and foster their growth.
