The wisdom of the older generation for the benefit of the young
Here is one of the Chuvash proverbs that will be useful to the younger generation: "". Young people often consider themselves to be independent and experienced enough to make decisions about their lives. And this is completely natural - after all, everyone wants to go their own way. However, do not forget that life is full of difficulties and unpredictable situations. And often only a senior mentor can help in overcoming them. The Chuvash, like many other peoples, knew this wisdom well. And so they instruct the young through a useful proverb. Only the older and more experienced can teach the young how to avoid certain difficulties. After all, an elderly person has already encountered these difficulties, but a youth has not yet.
Envy is the worst vice
Chuvash proverbs reflect the most diverse aspects of human life. “Alien food seems tastier,” says the folk wisdom of the Chuvash. This truth is true for representatives of any nationality. After all, regardless of nationality, people have the same weaknesses. And one of those vices is envy. When it seems to a person that other people are doing better than him, this indicates an inability to be grateful for what is already there. An envious person will never be happy - after all, in any situation there are people who are richer, more comfortable, more talented than he is. Therefore, you need to develop your ability to appreciate life and the benefits that it gives.
Lazy is always poor
Another Chuvash proverb shares the well-known wisdom: "A lazy person's wallet is empty." Indeed, those people who do not make efforts to improve their well-being will always experience a shortage of money. When a person is not lazy, tries to solve his financial difficulties, sooner or later he will embark on the path of abundance. The lazy person will have to be content with the meager property that he has. Therefore, people who do not seek to overcome their laziness may face the most terrible consequences of their inaction, up to complete ruin. From this point of view, this Chuvash proverb will be very useful to everyone.
External beauty is fleeting
“Beauty for a while, kindness forever,” says another folk wisdom. Human goodness comes and goes.

So far, people have not unraveled the main secret of aging. maybe it's for the best. After all, in this way a person has the opportunity to develop his best spiritual qualities, to appreciate the inner, spiritual beauty.

Rather, one who can curb his impudence and become formidable is worthy of respect.

“You can’t make a dog a fox,” says another proverb of the Chuvash people. This wisdom will also be true for all peoples, because it says that the nature of a living being is unchanging.
