Neither A Borrower, Nor A Lender Be

We all know that it is better not to lend money to others and on the other hand, not to borrow from others. This is the principle which every person in the world either in ancient time or in modern days will like to follow.
Four hundred years go, an English famous play-writer Shakespeare wrote a play, called “Hamlet” which described a story of Denmark royal family six hundred years ago. In this story play, there was one scene about the son of Denmark Prime Minister going to study in France. On the farewell occasion, Prime Mister told his son many words of wisdom to protect him in his overseas’ study. One of the words is about the handle of money. He said to his son: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be. For loan often loses itself and friends and borrowing turns a person into a spending thrift.”
From above, we can learn from conversation of six hundred years ago that borrowing and lending is very important to notice in the way of our life. Beware how to handle such affair should it come.
