Idiom

This Week's Idiom:  What will be will be 
This proverb means that you cannot change what is going to 
happen. 
Example: Sanjit waited anxiously as the votes for class 
 president were being counted.  If only I had started 
campaigning sooner, I definitely would win.”
“There’s no use worrying about it now,” said Robert, the 
 votes are already in.  What will be will be.”
This proverb was used in “The Knight’s Tale” (1390) by 
 English poet Geoffrey Chaucer.  It is best known from the 
popular song “Que Sera Sera,” which is how the proverb is 
 expressed in Spanish.
