Old sayings that will help you in blitz or bullet:

  • Look before you leap
  • He who hesitates is lost. Therefore take your time, but don't take your time. 

In other words don't hesitate to take a good long look, but just don't blow it.  

And the moral is:  Win, don't lose.  Lose, but learn.  Learn, but don't regret.    Regret, but don't quit.  Quit but don't shrivel up and die.  Shrivel up and die, but don't have an unpleasant afterlife experience.  Optimism may not get you anywhere, but it can help stave off reality long enough that eventually things might get better.

The way to look before you leap AND not hesitate is to play traps.

"Lightning", not "lightening".

There. I corrected my spelling with a re-post.

 

It's easy to correct a spelling mistake, contained within a thread title.

 

HOME >> Manage all content (bottom of page) >> Edit (appropriate thread).

 

Though, the page URL will still show the unrevised error.

A succinct subject title is the old proverb:

"Haste makes waste."

Waste makes manure.

Money is like manure - it's no good until it's spread around
