AMPLIFICATION ( ভাৱ সম্প্ৰসাৰণ)

1. Honesty is the best policy. (সততাই উত্তম নীতি)

Ans: Honesty means truthfulness in words and actions. A dishonest man may get temporary gain, but in the end, he loses trust, peace and respect. An honest man, on the other hand, is loved and admired by all. His conscience remains clear, and he enjoys real happiness in life. Even if he faces difficulties, he finally achieves success because people believe him. History also remembers honest leaders and reformers with great honour. Honesty builds character, which is the foundation of real success. Therefore, honesty is rightly said to be the best policy in life.

2. Knowledge is power. (জ্ঞানেই শক্তি)

Ans: Knowledge is a great gift of human life. It gives us the power to think, to judge and to act wisely. A man of knowledge can guide others and overcome any difficulty. Wealth and strength may be lost, but knowledge always remains. With knowledge, man has invented machines, discovered medicines, and even explored space. A knowledgeable person is respected everywhere. Knowledge brings confidence and freedom from fear. Truly, knowledge is the greatest power that leads to progress and prosperity.

3. Cut your coat according to your cloth. ( আঠুৱা চাই ঠেং মেলা, আয় চাই ব্যয় কৰা )

Ans: We should always live within our means. A person who spends more than his income soon falls into debt, misery and shame. On the other hand, one who spends carefully is respected and lives happily. True happiness lies in simple living and not in wasteful luxury. A man who knows how to control his expenses enjoys peace of mind and security. Many rich men become poor because of their careless spending. Hence, it is wise to cut our coat according to our cloth. This principle helps us avoid future troubles.

4. Bolt from the blue. (বিনা মেঘে বজ্রপাত, অপ্ৰত্যাশিত দুৰ্ঘটনা)

Ans: A “bolt from the blue” means a sudden and unexpected event. It comes without warning, like a lightning flash from a clear sky. Life is full of such surprises, both good and bad. A piece of happy news or a shocking accident may strike suddenly. Such events change the course of life in a moment. Wise men therefore prepare themselves for every situation. A calm mind can face even unexpected events with courage. Truly, life is full of bolts from the blue.

5. No pain, no gain. ( দুখ নকৰিলে মুখ নভৰে)

Ans: Success in life depends on hard work. Without labour and sacrifice, no great achievement is possible. A farmer must till the land before enjoying a good harvest. A student must study hard before passing an exam. Great men became successful because they worked day and night with patience. Luxury and laziness never bring progress. The greater the pain, the sweeter the gain. Truly, no pain, no gain is the rule of life.

6. Travelling widens wisdom. (ভ্ৰমণে জ্ঞান বঢ়ায়).

Ans: Travelling is a great teacher. A man who travels learns more than one who stays at home. He sees new places, meets new people, and experiences new cultures. This broadens his mind and makes him more intelligent. Books give us knowledge, but travelling gives us real-life lessons. It also teaches tolerance, discipline and confidence. Therefore, travelling widens wisdom and makes a man truly educated.

7. A sleeping fox catches no poultry. (শুই থকা শিয়ালে হাঁহ ধৰিব নোৱাৰে)

Ans: An idle person cannot achieve anything in life. A fox that sleeps all day cannot catch poultry for food. Similarly, a man who wastes his time in idleness never succeeds. Industry and alertness are necessary for progress. A student who does not study cannot do well in exams. A businessman who is lazy cannot earn profit. Life is full of competition, and only the active can win. Therefore, a sleeping fox catches no poultry.

8. The more you sow, the more you will reap. ( or )

As you sow, so you reap. ( যেনে কৰ্ম তেনে ফল )

Ans: Life is like a field where we sow seeds of action. The harder we work, the greater the results we get. A farmer who sows more seed reaps more crops. Similarly, a student who studies more learns more and scores higher. In every field of life, effort brings reward. Lazy people cannot expect success without labour. The results of life always depend on our actions. Truly, the more you sow, the more you will reap.

9. Blows one’s own trumpet. (নিজকে নিজে প্ৰশংসা কৰা)

Ans: Some people always praise themselves. They talk loudly about their qualities and achievements. But real greatness does not need self-praise. People who are truly great are known by their deeds, not their words. A man who boasts loses respect in society. Silence and humility are the marks of a noble man. Therefore, to blow one’s own trumpet is foolish and disliked by all.

10. Service to man is service to God. (মানুহক সেৱা কৰা মানে ঈশ্বৰক সেৱা কৰা)

Ans: God lives in every human being. When we serve men, we serve God Himself. Feeding the hungry, helping the sick, and educating the poor are noble works. Religion is meaningless without kindness and service. Great saints and leaders served humanity and became immortal. Love for mankind is the true worship of God. Therefore, service to man is service to God.

11. Mind your own business. (নিজৰ কামত মন দিয়ক).

Ans: We should focus on our own duties instead of interfering in the affairs of others. A man who wastes time in gossip and quarrel gains nothing. Meddling in others’ work creates enmity and hatred. A sincere person minds his own business and earns respect. Life is short, and every moment should be used for self-improvement. Therefore, it is wise to mind our own business.

12. Birds of the same feather flock together. ( সাপেহে সাপৰ ঠেং দেখে , একেধৰণৰ মানুহ একেলগ হয়)

Ans: People of similar character, taste or habits like to live together. Good boys make friendship with good boys, and bad boys with bad boys. In society, noble men mix with noble men, while selfish men mix with selfish ones. Our nature attracts us towards people of the same kind. Therefore, we should choose our companions carefully. Truly, birds of the same feather flock together.

13. Rome was not built in a day. (ভুকুতে কল নপকে)

Ans: Great achievements require time and patience. The city of Rome, with its glory and power, was built after long years of hard work. Similarly, success in life cannot be gained in a day. A student must work for years to gain true knowledge. A tree takes years to grow and bear fruit. Quick success is often short-lived. Therefore, Rome was not built in a day, and patience is the key to progress.

14. Failures are the pillars of success. (বিফলতাই সফলতাৰ স্তম্ভ).

Ans: Failure is not the end but the beginning of success. Every failure teaches us a lesson and corrects our mistakes. Great inventors and leaders failed many times before they succeeded. Failure builds patience, courage and experience. A man who never fails can never value success. Therefore, failures are rightly called the pillars of success.

15. Morning shows the day. ( যি মূলা বাঢ়ে তাৰ দুপাততে চিন )

Ans: The beginning of a day gives an idea of how the whole day will be. Similarly, the early habits of a child show what he will become in future. A student who is hardworking in youth is likely to succeed in life. On the other hand, a careless beginning often leads to failure. That is why elders advise us to begin our work well. Truly, morning shows the day.

16. All that glitters is not gold. (উজ্জ্বল বস্তু মাত্রেই সোণ নহয় )

Ans: Appearances are often deceptive. Many things look beautiful and valuable but are worthless inside. A man may appear rich or kind, but his heart may be evil. True worth lies in honesty and purity, not in outer show. Even stones may shine like gold but have no value. Therefore, we must not be deceived by looks. Truly, all that glitters is not gold.

17. Tit for tat. (যেন কুকুৰ তেন টাঙোন )

Ans: Tit for tat means giving others the same treatment they give us. If someone is kind, we should return kindness. If someone cheats us, we should not trust him again. In society, people learn lessons when they face the results of their actions. This proverb teaches justice and fairness. But it also warns against cruelty, because evil will bring evil in return. Truly, life gives tit for tat.

18. An empty vessel sounds much. (ঢোৰা সাপৰ ফোঁচ-ফোঁচনিয়ে সাৰ )

Ans: An empty vessel makes more noise than a full one, and the same is true for people. A man who has little knowledge always talks loudly and tries to show off. On the other hand, a wise man speaks less but his words carry weight. Knowledge makes men humble, while ignorance makes them proud. Society values silence and depth more than noise. Truly, empty vessels always sound much.

19. A little learning is a dangerous thing. (অল্প বিদ্যা ভয়ংকাৰী)

Ans: Knowledge is useful, but half-knowledge is harmful. A man with little learning thinks himself wise and often misleads others. His mistakes may cause loss to himself and society. For example, a doctor with half knowledge may kill instead of cure. On the other hand, truly learned men remain humble and careful. Therefore, a little learning is always a dangerous thing.

20. A rolling stone gathers no moss. (লৰি ফুৰা কেঁকোৰাৰ তেল নাই, বাগৰি ফুৰা শিলত শেলুৱৈ নগজে)

Ans: A rolling stone never gathers moss, and similarly, a man who keeps changing jobs or places never succeeds. Stability and patience are necessary for progress. A restless person cannot gain wealth or respect. Success comes to those who remain steady and hardworking. Constant change for small gain leads only to loss. Therefore, a rolling stone gathers no moss.

21. Example is better than precept. (উপদেশতকৈ আৰ্হি ভাল).

Ans: Preaching is easy, but practicing is difficult. People learn more by example than by advice. A teacher who lives by his own words influences students better. Parents who set a good example teach their children more than lectures. Hypocrites who say one thing and do another are never respected. Therefore, example is always better than precept.
