Most people know of the phrase, “Haste makes waste.” This means whenever you rush to get something done, its very possible that you could waste valuable products and even time. I totally agree with this phrase. Haste almost always produces waste and irritated mood and atmosphere. My proof comes from a very reliable source, my mom.
A part of Mom’s hastily completed work acceptable, and definitely not perfect. But a much bigger proportion holds not so pretty products.
One example was when my mom played Online Poker Gambling or Korean drama way past her schedule of cooking at 5:30. Now, with barely ten minutes to cook the dinner steak, she made the tender beef catch on fire, and finished cooking by reducing the steak to hot, dry ashes. This haste not only wasted the steak, but also valuable time to clean up.
Another example was when my mom rushed out of the house when she suddenly remembered a forgotten appointment scheduled in five minutes time. After hastily rushing out the garage, she had no memory of closing the garage door. So, with Mom uncertain whether the garage door was closed, she had to drive back to check. That wasted expensive gasoline and priceless time that she could never get back.
With the phrase “Haste Makes Waste” in mind, remember that it is better to work slowly and precisely than do a lightning fast mess up.
