Hi,

Can you tell me what this sentences mean:

1- Stupidity doesnï¿½t pay and neither does stress.

2- Instead of trying to understand the new situation and behave in an appropriate way, the man continued to behave as before, out of habit.

Thank you.

:)

1. We commonly hear ï¿½Crime doesn ï¿½t pay ï¿½ http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Crime+doesn ï¿½t+pay

If something doesn ï¿½t pay it means you can ï¿½t achieve anything by doing it. There will be no good outcome.

2. I think you need an example to explain this. (Sorry I canï¿½t think of a better example)

A man waters his flower garden every day. There is a drought. The man continues to water his flowers out of habit, not thinking about the drought, or understanding what it means. The result could be that he ends up with no drinking water.
