Rome wasn't built in a day.

      The reason I chose this proverb is because it is the only one that I have read before and also have the same proverb in my country.
      When I was in my junior high school, in the geography class, the time my teacher taught us about Rome, she also mentioned this proverb, "Rome wasn't built in a day." And my other teacher also like to mentioned it when they wanted us to study everyday; probably it is because of the meaning of the proverb and it is so famous. This proverb means that every huge of fantastic work cannot be done immediately, it needs to do it from a little step and do it every day. So if people can keep doing something regularly and never give up, at last people can have a great ends and get the fantastic work.     
    In China, it has exactly the same way to say the proverb, like just transfer every single word to Chinese. Probably this proverb is not from America or China, it is came from Rome. So not like other proverb, I can understand this and also Americans can understand this. Actually, even there are some proverb that I can't translate to Chinese, I still can know what it means. However, I can't understand these proverbs like "The night is dark, but the apples are counted.", "Great trees are envied by the wind." and "Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble." these proverbs must related to some culture things which I don't know.     
   By the way, I think there is a proverb in China has the same meaning of "Stars are not seen by sunshine.", and we have a very beautiful ancient idiom phrase(only four words) to say it. Unfortunately I just can't remember it, how desperate for a people who has a light obsessive-compulsive symptom to forget a things that she really want to know.
