Haste makes waste.

Spring and Autumn Period·Confucius's "The Analects of Confucius·Zilu". Speed: Fast, refers to achieving results quickly. Then: Just. Ran: Arrive. The general meaning of this sentence is: Just trying to achieve the goal quickly will not achieve the goal. Zilu, a student of Confucius, once asked Confucius for advice on how to govern Ju Fu. Confucius replied: Don't be eager for success and don't care about small profits. If you are eager for success, you will not achieve your goal, and if you care about small profits, you will not achieve great things. The development of things has certain laws and processes, which do not change based on people's subjective wishes. If you violate this rule and rush for quick success, you are destined to fail to achieve your goal. It can be used to advise those who are eager for success to respect objective laws.

Qing Dynasty educator Shen Juyun

Yongji cannot be built in a hurry, and prestige cannot be established overnight.

See Jin Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Commentary on the Biography of the Princes of Wu Wenshi" by Pei Songzhi quoted from "Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals". Yong: city wall. Haste: in a hurry. The general idea of ??the two sentences is: the foundation of a city wall cannot be laid in a hurry, and a person's reputation cannot be established in one day. No matter what you do, you can't rush for success. A hastily laid foundation will inevitably fail to build a tall city wall; even if it is built. They can also collapse due to weak foundations. If you try to build a reputation in a hurry, you will inevitably use deceptive or violent means. The reputation established in this way will not last long. It can be used to explain that no matter what you do, you must not be eager for quick success or quick success.

Historian of the Western Jin Dynasty Chen Shou's "Records of the Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei·Biography of Princes Wu Wenshi"

You should not rush for success, you should be familiar with your research objects, and if you persevere, time will come true. everything. The hardest thing is to get started, but the hardest thing is to end well.
