Friday Focus: Burning The Midnight Oil
No Electricity? Perhaps You Should Light a Lamp Instead!
This idiom describes a feeling of extra effort and hard work. It shows that a person is staying awake to finish something very important while others are sleeping. Imagine a small circle of light in a dark room; this represents your focus and dedication.
Even though we use electricity today, the “effort” of staying up late is the same. This phrase connects us to a time before lightbulbs.
