Egyszer Volt Budán Kutyavásár This unusual Hungarian phrase, translated literally, means

“there was a dog-market in Buda only once.” In modern English, you would interpret this to mean “a favorable opportunity that only comes along once” – something that you should grasp with both hands, lest you regret not taking advantage of it later.

How would you apply this word to your life?

“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”
