the answer for the 2nd one is


to behave in the way you want and not let other people influence you.

since no one gave the answer i am posting the answer....
here they are....

1. pay through the nose : to pay too much for something.
example : if you go to the Taj for dinner , you have to pay through the nose for it.

2. sink like a stone : to fail completely.
example : he worked day and night but in the end he sank like a stone.
