Word Meanings

 

In some places of the country, areas have already been impacted with snow and while they might be good for some, it cannot be good for everyone.


"What is one man's ceiling is another man's floor...."  Paul Simon


What does that mean exactly?


It could be speaking about abilities and achievements with the ceiling indicating a high achievement and the floor indicating a low achievement.


It could also mean that what some people consider to be trash, others consider to be treasure.


It could also mean importance versus not that important.


What words and phrases mean to one person, to another person, those same words and phrases could have an entirely different meaning.


Do we take into consideration how other might interpret our words when we talk or do we just start blurting out what we think or feel?


Something to think about perhaps...
