Potassium tends to lend electrons rather than borrow them. As an alkali metal, it has a single electron in its outermost shell, which it readily loses to achieve a stable electron configuration. This electron loss allows potassium to form positively charged ions (K⁺) during chemical reactions, particularly with nonmetals.

Much of it is very superficial, but most of it boils down to this: "Be cautious." Polonius tells Laertes to keep his thoughts to himself, and not to act on them without consideration, to stick with friends he knows he can trust, avoid unnecessary fighting, to listen to others but (again), to keep his opinions to himself, to neither lend money or borrow it, but live within his means. All of these are different examples of living cautiously and prudently.
