焉:怎麼。不進老虎窩,怎能捉到小老虎。比喻不親歷險境就不能獲得成功。
If you do not take risks, you will never accomplish anything. It means if you never take risks or try anything, you will never gain the rewards of that risk. In other words, say if you wanna ask someone out, if you sit back and never go for it, you may miss a great relationship. Or, you wanna invest in the stock market, but never go for it. If the stock you were gonna invest in, gains, you will never reap those monetary benefits, because you didn’t go for it.
One must take risks to achieve something, as in ‘They quit their jobs, packed up, and moved to Wisconsin, saying “nothing ventured, nothing gained.”’
EXAMPLE
Steve: Are you going to go to Law school?
Frank: No, I don’t think so. It’s too expensive and I think it’s too difficult.
Steve: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You won’t become rich if you keep working at your current job.
Frank: No, I don’t think so. It’s too expensive and I think it’s too difficult.
Steve: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You won’t become rich if you keep working at your current job.
