: : I once meet an idiom whose meaning is to solve all the problems one encounters by himself rather than pass them to other people.but now I can't remember it.i only recall the idiom seems to have something with apple.i'm not so sure.
: : please help me!

: The cliché saying is "if you want something done right, do it yourself," but the only related phrase I can think of at the moment is "paddle your own canoe." Can't think of any "apple" idiom.
