All that Glitters is not Gold : Not everything that looks superficially attractive is valuable.
Gold is bright yellow metal, and it shines brightly. However, many things shine bright, but they are not Gold. The precious jewel Gold is a chemical element that is highly valuable. However, a lot of other objects do shine like Gold but are not Gold. Therefore, one should not judge something due to its outer appearances. Instead, we should examine carefully and find out the real value.
The real value of an object or a person does not lie in outward appearances. A neatly dressed person is not always beautiful at heart but might be wrong at times. However, a poorly dressed person’s appearance may look ugly but might possess real good qualities at heart.
For instance, while shopping, the proverb phrase reminds us to choose things that add the most worth. While choosing friends, some people might not be the same as we thought them to be. While seizing opportunities, dream jobs might be hard and stressful. While chasing dreams, they might be different from reality. Thus, an attractive appearance might lead to falsehood.
Thus, the proverb tells one to develop a habit of being rational and use correct judgment so that one cannot get deceived by their outward appearances.
