Haste Makes Waste

Haste makes waste. 

Without googling or checking reference resources, what do you think this proverb means?

By guessing you are priming your brain for learning, which will help you remember the meaning more easily. It doesn’t matter if your guess is wrong, the key is to exercise your brain by guessing.

Write your guess in the comments below. After you post your guess, go ahead and look it up.

That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    Doing things too quickly is not necessary a good thing as you might forget to buy/do etc. something, therefore have to go back to stores etc. and by doing so you slow things down.

    It is “necessarily” here, right?

  3. Amy Estrada

    Yes exactly Katrin, very good.

  4. Amy Estrada

    Yes indeed, you are correct, as usual! Very good. We need to use the adverb form, necessarily.

    I think this proverb means that we should not do anything in a hurry, because the results will not correspond with what we expect. Hurrying will cause us to make mistakes and we will need more time to do the work again.

  6. Amy Estrada

    Yes Nia, exactly.
