Cách sử dụng
When someone flatters you, it means they are saying nice things about you to make you happy or gain your favor. The expression "flattery will get you everywhere" means that if you flatter someone, they will be more likely to help you or do what you want. For example, if you tell your boss how great they are, they might be more likely to give you a raise or a promotion. On the other hand, the expression "flattery will get you nowhere" means that if you flatter someone, it will not work and they will not do what you want. For instance, if you try to flatter a policeman to get out of a ticket, it will not work and you will still have to pay the fine. So, this expression is a reminder that you should not always rely on flattery to get what you want, as it may or may not work depending on the situation.
