I have always believed that only by experiencing can one adapt to circumstances.
Respect those older than you, and care for those younger than you.
The term "proof" in English is a measurement that can easily be confused. In mainland China, saying sixty degrees refers to alcohol that contains sixty percent [illustration]. In fact, using the British calculation, forty percent alcohol is already seventy degrees. The American calculation is even simpler, two degrees equals one percent alcohol, so eighty degrees whiskey only has forty degrees of alcohol. Therefore, Scottish whiskey never states how many degrees, only how many percent.
