The world is (one's) oyster spoken language
If you say "the world is your oyster," you mean that you have or will have every opportunity or advantage needed to do what you like or go where you desire.
Unlike me, you are young, hard-working, and living in a wealthy family. The world is your oyster.
We spent a happy evening reminiscing about our old days living like the world was our oyster.
This expression suggests that success can be taken from the world in the same way that pearls can be taken from oysters. This idea was used by Shakespeare in `The Merry Wives Of Windsor': `Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.' (Act 2, Scene 2)
Do you see anything wrong?
Men are normally responsible for building the house, while women decorate that house to make it become a home.
A: I built this house; meanwhile, my wife was in charge of designing its interior and exterior.
B: It is true that men make houses, women make homes.
