Proverbs and Phrases You Might Be Saying Wrong
Yup, you’ve probably been saying most idioms or expressions wrong since you’ve learned about them. You’re definitely not alone there. One day, I got extremely curious as I was working on a few assignments for school, and when I researched one of these sayings only to discover it actually had a completely different meaning.

Let's Focus on Failure
I remember taking a state practice test when I was in high school. The portion I recall was a critical thinking section and judged your analytical skills in reference to reading. I can’t tell you how well I did or what questions were asked afterward, but I can tell you what information and story I absorbed in that process. It is a seemingly insignificant story or factoid that has influenced me even today.

Mother Of The Trees
Have you ever wandered through the underpass, from Washington Hospital Center, and entered Wangari Gardens? Have you ever looked at the community garden, the youth garden and the outdoor classroom and wondered: who is the woman who inspired all of this? Who was the woman who inspired these bee hives, this public fruit tree orchard and these vegetable gardens?

Do you know a Killer?
Jeffrey Dahmer. Ted Bundy. John Wayne Gacy. Jack the Ripper. They are all serial killers, but they are not psychotic. Far too often, people misinterpret a sociopath or psychopath and someone who has a psychotic disorder (Schizophrenia). Although the mental health stigma has decreased in certain aspects, there are still some components that are difficult for those outside of the field to understand. This may not be a typical “fun fact,” but profiling and understanding the psyche is always fascinating.
