ENGLISH: TOO MUCH PROMISE TO LEAVE MADE ONE SLEEP ON THE WAY.

The source of the proverb came from the man who was travelling to somewhere far from home. He kept on promising to leave but finally he delayed his departure and ended up not reaching his destination. He had to sleep on the way. This is why people can describe this scenario using the proverb that ‘too much promise to leave made one sleep on the way.’

The proverb can be compared to a man who begins his work and pursues it well by carrying it out to the end. This person can live with other people who can help him reach his goal. Those people can help him conduct research in order to understand the ways he can use to reach his desired destination. Those people, whom this person reaches them on the way, are well-to-do individuals who are knowledgeable enough in helping him to complete his mission.

The proverb teaches people about accomplishing their career goals to the end, by talking to people who can help them achieve their goals.
