  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P this is Proverb 69. The proverb today is if you

  • can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. You might actually be able to

  • change the word take as well you might say if you can't bear the heat, or if you

  • can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. So you might hear it slightly

  • different. They may change the verb a few times so either take, bear, stand, all

  • of them would probably work. All right. Let's continue here. This proverb

  • basically means if you cannot handle the situation or bear the pressure, give it

  • up because the stress and pressure will probably always be present on this job,

  • or in this situation. Yes that's the idea. I mean obviously, if you are a cook and

  • you couldn't take the heat in the kitchen, then maybe you shouldn't be a

  • cook, because the kitchens always going to be hot. You always have to cook. There's

  • always going to be a lot of heat there. If you can't stand this, then maybe being

  • a cook is not for you. That's the idea. If you can't stand the heat, then get out of

  • the kitchen. All right. So let's continue here. This proverb was coined by

  • President Harry S Truman. Remember if somebody coins a term or coins a word or

  • a phrase. It means they are first one to say it. They invented it. He actually started to

  • use it while he was a general. After becoming president in 1949 he used it to

  • tell his staff not to worry about criticism from the media. That shouldn't

  • be surprising because they do the same thing today with new presidents. So they

  • might criticize the people they choose for their office. So Harry Truman was

  • having that problem all the way back in 1949 and he said this quote to try to

  • you know to ease their feelings or tell them not to worry and let's continue.

  • Here is the quote. I'll stand by you if you can't take. Yeah I'll stand by you,

  • but if you can't take the heat. Get out of the kitchen. Remember if somebody says

  • that they'll stand by you. It means they'll support you. They'll back you up.

  • So I'll stand by you, but if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. But

  • you know, if this is really too much pressure for you. Then maybe you

  • shouldn't accept this job because you know if you work for an administration

  • and the media , you know, they're always going to be criticizing you. You can't worry

  • about every little word they're going to say about you. You have to be able to

  • handle that. So if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Okay. Let's

  • continue. This proverb is often used in response to someone who complains how

  • difficult or unbearable his or her job is. Okay good. So let's look at example

  • number one. The obstacle courses and endurance tests are too hard to become a

  • Navy SEAL. Yeah we sometimes have seen some movies like this. Somebody's trying to

  • become a Navy SEAL. A lot of them give up and quit, because of course they, they

  • have to bear a lot of discomfort. They have to show that they have endurance

  • you know to do these like either rescue, rescue people or you know be sent in on

  • a special mission. So that's what we might say, you know if somebody wanted

  • that position you know you got, to you got to accept that you're going to have to

  • go through a lot of terrible endurance tests. Or these hard obstacle courses in

  • order to be chosen to be one. All right. Let's continue. Oh well here, remember

  • this is an a/b part. So well B would say well if you can't take the heat. Get out

  • of the kitchen. So that's what we always say in response to somebody who's

  • complaining about how difficult it is. So let's look at number two. Again another a/b

  • part. The stress of being an air traffic controller is unbearable and of

  • course B may say, well if you cannot take the heat. Get out of the kitchen. Yeah. I

  • think I remember from years ago they say this is one of the most stressful jobs

  • and all the world as being an traffic control because you're

  • responsible for all the planes and making sure they don't crash into each

  • other. It's a lot of pressure. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.

  • Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
