And in ancient Greece and ancient Rome, they were used to have a crown laurels for the victor, for the winner of games. So if you rest on your laurels, you rest on your past successess, your past successes were so wonderful that you don't have to do anything now. Yeah. So rest on your laurels, to stop trying now becuase you are really satisfied with what you have done in the past. It's not a good thing to rest on your laurels, you need to be continually improving and getting better. When you past your exam, you can't rest on your laurels, you need to continue studying, yeah. The business seems to have rested on its laurels and the competitors seem to have taken away a lot of their business, ok. So they are feeling wonderful because of past successes and thinking that they don't need to do anything now. So with your English is not a good idea to rest on your laurels if you have done well English in the past. You need to always continue trying to learn, trying to improve. Ok.
