Proverb: "A watched pot never boils"

Lady Ayame

Hello! How are you Cafetalk community?

I wanted to share this proverb with you, because this is what it feels like when I'm on "Standby Status" on Cafetalk. Have you ever heard of this proverb? It would be great if you can "Request a Lesson!" We can just talk in English or do an interesting quiz that I prepared.

I assure you it will be fun and informative. Just wanted to remind you that I'm here online for you most of the time! Have a wonderful day! Hope to hear from you! 

Warmest regards,

Lady Ayame


"a watched pot never boils"

When you want something to happen, paying attention to it will make the wait feel 
much longer. 
Prov. Something you are waiting for will not happen while you are concentrating on it.
