in one’s shoes > ~의 입장이 되어
We meet so many people from different background and so many different problems in
mind. It’s a miracle we are getting along at all. Be patient. So before you criticize someone,
maybe you should walk a mile in their shoes. Then you can understand better.
<Morning Words>
Count out: have no expectation for success, so except something > 빼놓다 제외하다
Fizzle out: As a big rolling sound comes to the end, there’s no energy remaining, soundly comes very weak, gradually fade away > 흐지부지 되다. 용두사미가 되다
Max out: use something entirely related to credit limit, money, time > 최고한도에 달하다
Ex)
Never count out a guy with heart
>(꼭 해낼 테니)열정이 있는 사람을 마음 속에서 배제시키지 마
Never let your passion for life fizzle out
> 삶에 대한 너의 열정을 절대 흐지부지 하게 하지마

> 이 물건 사려면 카드 한도까지 사용해야 돼
* Your card is maxed out > 카드 한도가 다 찼습니다.
<More Expressions>
Count down: 숫자를 세다
Fizzle away: 서서히 사라지다 (fart > 바람을 가르다)
To the max: to the fullest > 최고한도로

<LST: The change of the meaning “fizzle”>
This is a very old word. “Fizzle” dates back to the early 1500s, at that time it meant to
“break wind without making noise” and later the word fizzle is applied to hissing noises
and then it was used to attain any kind of endeavor or effort and ended the
disappointment.
<John’s Recap>
Do you remember several years ago, Hong Gil-dong was playing basketball? He was on a pro team. He worked very hard. He did his best. During the games, he would get very tired.
I understand on the end of the game, he would fizzle out because he was always maxing out his all energy, running out up and down the court, jumping and shooting. It’s very difficult.
As he would fizzle out, I say “Do you want to sit down and take a break?” No, don’t count out a champion. I’ll fight to the end. He’d always say that. He’s always stayed in the game to the very end
