BUSTING CLICHES<br />

by Mahevash Shaikh<br />

Where there’s a will, there’s a way<br />

Blood is thicker than water<br />

Time heals all wounds<br />

Who hasn’t grown up with clichés?<br />

Clichés have been around forever and everybody uses them from<br />

time to time. In fact, we learn a lot of them at English class in the<br />

form of proverbs and sayings. And that’s a good thing, because a lot<br />

of clichés are power-packed with wise advice and rules to live by.<br />

However, trouble brews when they are generalized, taken literally or<br />

misinterpreted due to popular notion. These overused statements<br />

then become limiting beliefs that negatively influence our thoughts,<br />

choices and decisions...<br />
