欲速則不達-Haste Makes Waste

Haste Makes Waste

In my daily life, I always want things to be done quickly, however, the results tend to turn out just the opposite of what I wish. As the saying goes "more haste, less speed", baste never helps, instead it makes waste.

Once I was in a hurry trying to catch the train to Shanghai. I packed up and put all the things I would need into a suitcase and locked it. Then I took a taxi and boarded the train on time. When I arrived in Shanghai and was comfortably settled in a hotel, I tried to open my suitcase. To my great disappointment, I found I did not have the key with me. I had left it at home without my knowing it.

Another Time I was trying to fill a bettIe with hot water to warm my feet before going to bed. In a hurry, I took the bottle full of "cold water" and poured it out. While I was pouring and cnjoying the sound the liquid made while coming out of the bottle, my brother shouted at me, "Hey, you are pouring out my liqor!"

From my own experinece, I draw a painful lesson HASTE MAKES WASTE.

欲速則不達

在日常生活中,我總想把事情辦得炔一些,可結果往往走事與願違。正如常言道:“欲速則不達”。圖快毫無益處,反而造成浪費。

有一次,我忙著趕去上海的火車,收拾好行李,把所需要的東西放進箱子,上了鎖。然後乘計程車,及時上了火車。到上海並在旅館裡舒適地安頓下來以後,就要打開箱子。令我大失所望的是:我發現自己沒帶鑰匙,不知不覺地把鑰匙丟在了家裡了。

又有一次,在睡覺前我想灌一瓶熱水焐腳。匆忙之中,我拿起一瓶盛滿“涼水”的瓶,然後把涼水倒掉。我正在一面倒一面欣賞液體從瓶中倒出的聲音時,我哥哥朝我大叫:“嘿,你把我的白酒給倒了!”

從自己的經歷中,我得出一個痛苦的教訓:欲速則不達。
