"The squeaking wheel gets the grease"
Today was a hectic day, and I felt so tired right now. I went home and wanted to take a rest. A nap should do the job, but I was not feeling sleepy. I noticed that my netbook was on the table, and pondered a while, "Going online, watching videos on Youtube is better than sleeping I might." Without hesitation, I took it in a heartbeat.
After I turned it on, I clicked on my Google Chrome and stared at the monitor while thinking, "What should I do now? Hhmmm... Oh yeah, Youtube!" As I type Youtube on the Google website, I mused for a second, "What about a random Google search! It might be interesting!"
Then I typed in the URL address: "http://www.bleb.org/random". On the screen, the website showed an option to choose the number of words to use for the searching. I chose 6 words, as the more the better in my understanding, at least at the moment. Then I clicked 'Take me to the Unknown!' Whoa! I had encountered a great string words: "The squeaking wheel gets the grease." For me, this was a new saying to me. I clicked on the top search result, which redirected me to another website: UsingEnglish. After reading the meaning, now I know that anybody who speaks the loudest, he or she will probably gets the most attention, as far as the saying goes.
I could not agree more regarding this matter. Indeed, who complains the most will be the one who gets the highest priority. I remembered a situation when my classmates were whinging about the class was always hot on the day or loud due to the spinning fans, and they decided to hand in a complaint to the authority. Within weeks, we had got ourselves an air-conditioner and a carpet, which make the class always cool and remain in decent loudness.
All in all, as far as the saying goes, I suggest that one should defend for his/her own rights, to deserve the best. Thank you for reading my notebook, farewell. :)
