Thought about page 11 and 12 of “The third ear”

Today i have learned page 11 and 12 of “The third ear” ,there is a sentence i really like it . It’s “Learned a new language will expand your world , see the  world form angles that you have never thought of “.

Different nationals have different culture and wise , at most time  , the more differently languages the more differently culture will be , thinking differently also .As time passed ,our brain learn knowledge everyday ,we became more and more mature and wise. We will see the same thing in different perspective.

I have ever heared a story , that is  In a tribe ,if you want be a chief , you need more wise , where is wise come from?  wise come form proverb,  and how do they use the proverb? For instance , if two men argument with something , they find chief help them to tell them who is right . The chief says “no worked , no supper , so you can’t steal his food “.  The chief always use a proverb sentence at first  ,then follow a comment sentence .

If someone mastered more proverbs , he will be considered more wise . Sometimes they can’t decide who will be the chief , why is that ?Because Part of villages ,there are not many proverbs , therefore most of the villagers were know the proverbs. If someone mastered another tribe language , he will learned new proverbs from other tribes ,and beat other villagers be chief  .

This story told me ,mastered a foreign language is so important , if you mastered a new language ,you will be the star in you colleagues ,and get more good chances .
