take my hat off
to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it
at the drop of a hat
– immediately, without waiting. And sadly, you cannot
pull money out of a hat.
You cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are
too big for their boots
think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people. I really do. You can
bet your boots
on that. Yet, truly important people are hard to replace. Rarely can you
fill their shoes
or replace them with someone equally effective.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe. They think he is a real
stuffed shirt.
But I know that my father
wears his heart on his sleeve
. He shows his feelings openly. And, he knows how to
keep his shirt on
. He stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.
Also, my father has never
lost his shirt
in a business deal. He is too smart to lose all or most of his money. This is because my father
rolls up his sleeves
and prepares to work hard. He often has a special plan or answer to a problem that he can use if he needs it. He is like a person who does magic tricks. We say he has a
card up his sleeve
.
