Brays Video Collection – Idiom Examples, A watched pot never boils
Script (guión): Idioms, ‘a watched pot never boils’. Some things work out in their own time so constantly checking them and being inpatient is just making things seem longer. When I'd finished university I managed to secure an interview for a job pretty fast. The job was training monkeys at the local zoo. I had the interview and it went really well and they told me that they would let me know on the Monday. However I waited all Monday and didn’t hear anything. I was constantly checking my mobile to see if I'd missed a call and checking my emails and my mother saw me and said, ‘Look, a watched pot never boils.’ Go out, relax, enjoy yourself, forget about the job and I'm sure you'll hear about it soon.
