Haste

"欲速则不达"
Translated to be: "The faster you want to complete a task, the more difficult it will be to complete."

Haste, a word often heard in MapleStory parties. Denotes a skill which allows you to move faster, thus killing monsters faster and leveling faster. Anyway, let's not talk about haste in virtual context. Let's apply it to real life.

Let me ask you. How many vehicles do you think can go pass an amber light in Singapore? The answer is (highlight it) stunningly 1 bus, 1 car and 2 lorry trucks, not a 4 lane road, but a 2 lane. I saw them really speed pass that amber light.

Is being hasty really that important? Yes, only when you are such a procrastinator *hint hint to [miin]*, and the datelines are coming. But other than that, I don't see a reason to why you should do things faster than a speed you are comfortable with. You are just giving yourself a chance to make mistakes.

However, there are somethings, which I really don't know why, approach it with or without haste, you can never get it done; at least not yet. Failures of being hasty, and never occurrences of being not hasty. When you don't rush into it, people think that its totally not important to you, and never take any actions to it. Rush into it, and others think why the heck are you so fucked up with something like this.

Life, so fucked up that you don't really know what to do.
