Power Idioms
Blessing in disguise
Example: Summer school may be a blessing in disguise. Next year, you'll be ahead of your class.
Meaning: Something that at first seems bad but turns out to be good; a hidden benefit.
Origin: This saying was first used in a poem 200 years ago by a writer named James Hervey, and people have been using it since. When something looks like bad luck, it may turn out to be a false appearance (a "disguise") that hides something that's really useful or fortunate (a "blessing"). Of course, you don't know that at first because the blessing is in disguise.

Outrun the Bear:
Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing about 50 feet in front of them. The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them. The first guy drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on. The second guy says, “What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear.”
“I don’t need to outrun the bear,” the first guy says. “I just need to outrun you.”
