Measure Twice, Cut Once (Again)


"Haste and rashness are storms and tempests, breaking and wrecking business."




 Thomas Fuller17th century British clergy/author

In business as in carpentry the better companies are thoughtfully built, the inevitable threats that would otherwise defeat them, neutralized.

Little good ever comes from decisions made in haste.

    (I know like the person the other day who commented "woulda, shoulda, coulda".)

  2. You're hardly alone Pauline and while I think this is more a problem for men (acting in haste), I'm not completely surprised that a woman owned up to this as a problem.
