It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth．A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and accepts other people as equals．A down-to-earth person is just the opposite of someone who acts importantly and proudly． Down-to-earth person may be important members of society, of course．But they do not let their importance “go to their heads”．They do not consider themselves to be better persons than others of less importance．Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”．There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth． Americans use another expression that means almost the same as “down-to-earth”．It is “both-feet-on-the-ground”．Someone with
“both-feet-on-the-ground” is a person with a good understanding of reality．He has what is called “common sense”．He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real．

both-feet-on-the-ground．When we have our both-feet-on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act honestly and openly towards others．Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong．
