（解释含义）An inspiring saying goes that “it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance”. Simple as the saying is, its meaning is profound and thought-provoking.

（解释含义）An inspiring saying goes that “it is unwise to put all your eggs in one basket”. Simple as the saying is, its meaning is profound and thought-provoking. Evidently, it is meant to tell us that one should be cautious in making decisions about the way to invest our time, money or energy.

In a word, I truly agree with the proverb given in the directions and will take the right actions in my life and work in the future.
