Bible verse of the Month 本月金句

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 1 Timothy4:15
這些事你要殷勤去做，並要在這些事上專心，讓眾人看出你的長進來。《提摩太前書》 4:15

Hands are Tied 綁手綁腳

Meaning : Not being able to do something that you would want to do
Marie: Good afternoon, Eddy. How are you? How’s your new job?
Eddy: Good afternoon, Marie. Thanks for asking. Well, I’m quite upset these days
in fact. My boss is a very conservative person. She doesn’t like new ideas.
For example, she just shot down my marketing proposal last week.
Marie: Oh! I’m sorry to hear that!
Eddy: I joined this company because I wanted to do new and challenging projects.
But my hands are tied now!
Marie: Oh, what a shame! I don’t know, but perhaps it might help if you talk to your
boss about your proposal in more detail. She might change her mind.
Who knows?
