Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 79. The proverb today is out of sight, out of
mind. So let's take a look at the note here. This proverb basically means if you
do not see someone or something often you will forget about them. And you know,
it makes sense of course. You know, out of sight. You don't see them. Out of mind.
You just forget about them. You get busy with your life. You get busy with the
other things and you don't think about them or you don't think about that
person. Well, you don't think about that thing. All right. So let's look at example
number one. This is an a/b part of course. So A says, I used to date one of
my neighbors that lived in the same building and on the same floor. However
after we broke up I had to move. Had to move away.
I couldn't bear passing by his door all the time, and being worried I might run
into him. Run into him of course means you might accidentally see him or meet
him, and of course B says, Yes. You're better off. Out of sight, out of mind.
So you're away from them. You can't run into him. You won't see him. You won't think of him.
And you'll be over the relationship. That's it you can move beyond that. So
out of sight out of mind. Okay and let's look at example number
two here. I used to have a lot of friends in my old neighborhood. but after I moved
away we never keep in touch anymore. I guess it's true what they say. Out of
sight out of mind. Move away from them you don't think about them. You go on
with your life. You do things out of sight out of mind so that's another way
that we commonly use it. Okay. Anyway, oh it's clear I hope you got it. Thank you
for your time. Bye-bye.
