Haste makes waste, small gains mean big things will fail.

This era is a busy and fast one. Almost everyone hopes to do twice the result with half the effort. Although sometimes they can find their own value and gain something in the busyness, they will also fall into the "rush" due to the eagerness for quick success and instant benefit. "If you don't reach it, you will not reach it" dilemma, so what can we do to avoid this dilemma? This article will list a short story about "Haste makes waste, small gains make big things impossible." to encourage us to slow down, calm down, and move steadily towards our goals.

The common problem of modern people is probably that they are too hasty. We are always racing against time and do everything quickly. It seems that if we are slow for one second, we will lose our entire life.

You have to eat breakfast quickly, otherwise you will be late for work; you have to go to appointments quickly, so that you can go back and work overtime; you also have to travel quickly, looking at the scenic spots, taking photos and checking in...

The pursuit of "fast" is causing us to miss many beautiful things. When we are busy running for life, life has gradually left us.

Just as Confucius said: "If there is no desire for speed, there is no desire for small gains. If you have haste, you will not achieve success. If you see small gains, great things will not be accomplished." You cannot blindly pursue speed when doing things, and you must not be eager for quick success. The first condition for success is to accumulate, use less to make more, and use slow to make fast.

Confucius: "Haste makes waste"?

Haste makes waste, and the ship of ten thousand years will sail safely

"Haste makes waste" comes from "The Analects" is a sentence Confucius said to Zixia.

Zixia was once a local official. He was confused about his job and future, so he went to visit Confucius, hoping to get help. After listening to his question, Confucius said to him: Since you have chosen the path of politics, you should be a little patient, know how to be far-sighted, make steady progress, and not rush for quick success, otherwise you will end up having haste rather than haste, and even all the previous efforts will be in vain. All previous efforts were wasted.

After listening to Confucius’s teachings, Zixia suddenly realized what he was doing. From then on, he worked diligently and was no longer in a hurry.

Most of those who pursue "fast" do not have long-term stable plans, and it is difficult to achieve their goals. If you want to be successful, you must understand the principle of "haste makes waste" .

There is no desire for haste, so act according to the circumstances; when things happen quickly, it is easy to make mistakes.

Zhao Yu served as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. Every time someone came to sue, after he understood the matter, if he felt that it was not urgent, he would ask them to come back tomorrow.

Over time, the common people laughed at him, and the proverb "The Governor of Songjiang will come tomorrow" was spread among the people. In fact, they don't know that those who come to sue are probably just angry for a moment, and may calm down and regret it after one night. The purpose of saying "come tomorrow" is to leave some room for thinking for others and myself, and not to act rashly without fully understanding the situation. It can not only save others from making mistakes, but also prevent you from making mistakes while busy and misjudge the case. If you start carefully and end carefully, you will never fail.

Haste makes waste. Nothing in this world can go without making mistakes. Only by calming down and planning carefully can we act accordingly.

Things that are far-sighted will take a long time.

There are many people in history who are eager for success, and there are also people who are far-sighted and slow to win.

Zhuge Liang, who worked hard in Nanyang, did not choose to enter the political stage early because he was full of ambition; and Liu Bei, who was bent on pursuing a great cause, although time was precious, did not choose to go to Zhuge Liang for the first time when he was blocked. give up.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, they knew that haste makes waste, and visiting the thatched cottage not only tested Liu Bei's patience, but also demonstrated Zhuge Liang's foresight. They both knew that a person who is impatient and does not value talents is not a good person. will go far, let alone establish the Shuhan Dynasty.

Slowing down is a kind of wisdom. Only when you stop by stillness can you become wise.

Nowadays, everything is developing rapidly. Everyone is in a hurry and often forgets the reason for setting out.

Those who move too fast become the next sentence of "Haste makes waste" - "Small gains lead to big things", and ultimately accomplish nothing. Why not, let’s try to start from now and slow down.

Slowness means stopping at the beautiful things in life, being tolerant of everything, not struggling, not being ferocious, not panicking. Steady but progressive, slow but promising, is the correct way to live. Only by slowing down can you be calm, accumulate experience, and gain success.

Haste makes waste, and sudden advancement only leads to death.

A wise man is like a Confucian, and he must not be hasty in his practice.

Modern life is complicated. Various things happen one after another every day, and countless external factors interfere with us. But when we calm down, like the ancients, do everything with meditation and breath control, do things with a pure mentality, have clear goals and be down-to-earth, maybe we will get twice the result with half the effort and gain a lot.
