What Do You Take For Granted?

[@ernestorevollar3632]

When I was at school, I took my studies for granted, you know, several times I didn't appreciate anything because I thought that was a normal and boring thing with no importance at all. I did consider it as a minor thing and I hardly ever thought it over. Now I have a completely different perspective about it because studying is too essential and natural for having a wonderful future, being able to stand out with any ability we have, and being mindful to draw up real goals we can accomplish.

When i was young, i took the money for granted, because my parents always gave it for me, i didn't appreciate it and didn't save money. But now, i have got the job, know making money isn't easy, so i don't take the money for granted. Thank you for your lesson! 😊😊

This is my little stoy. When I was living in Korea, there was no balcony in my place. So I had to put the laundry rack in the living room near the windows and hang up the laundry. But it took up lots of space and I needed to open and close it over and over. It was such a hassle. Thus when we decided to move to Singapore, one of the priorities for the house was a balcony. When I got a house with a balcony, I really apprrciate it and enjoyed. But as time went on, I might have forgotten and took it for granted. Now I am living in my second house where there is no balcony again. I realized again "Oh, balcony is not something that I shouldn't have taken for granted!!!!!" Guys, don't forget that even small open space to hang up the laundry under the sun is pretty important, if you are looking for any place to live now. Haha;; And on another note, this is to Vanessa, I am really grateful for you letting me have fully understood the meaning of "take it for granted". I recalled I was just memorizing the meaning of it back in high school not knowing how or where to use it. Your story is pretty helpful enough to find out the real meaning of it. Thanks.

[@SpeakEnglishWithVanessa]

Great story about your balcony! This is a great way to remember the expression. :D

Korea has a good food delivery system. Almost all restaurants delivered the food to my house just one call. When I was in Korea, I took it for garanted. It was so convinent. But now I don't take it for granted anymore.

[@eyutup]

For me, Taken for granted has two meanings : 1. to simply believe something without proof; ex: All their mother says is taken for granted by the children. 2. to know that something happens without effort. Ex: The Oscar Award was not taken for granted by Leonardo di Caprio, and he said that we have to stop the global warming because the Earth should not be taken for granted either. What do you think vanessa? Can it be accepted?

[@Rijasebna]

When I use to live with my family ,I shouldn't take them for granted . But now I realy understand how Important they are to me .
