Haste makes waste

Xia Zi is a student of Confucius. One year, Xia Zi was sent to Juxian as a local official. Before he left, he went to visit his teacher and asked Confucius, "Excuse me, how can we manage a place well?" Confucius cheerfully said to Xia Zi, "Governing a place is a very complicated matter. However, as long as you grasp the root cause, it will be very simple. " After explaining some things that should be paid attention to to to Xia Zi, Confucius repeatedly told him: "Haste makes waste. Haste makes waste. "When you see a small profit, you can't be a big deal. "The meaning of this passage is: don't simply pursue speed, don't covet small profits. Pursue speed without paying attention to the effect, and can't achieve the goal; If you only care about short-term interests and don't talk about long-term interests, you can't do great things. Xia Zi said that she must obey the teacher's instructions and bid farewell to Confucius. Later, "haste makes waste" came down as a proverb, which is often used to explain that being too eager for quick success is counterproductive and fails to achieve the goal.
