When in a Hurry, Take the Long Way

“When in a hurry, everything goes wrong.”

It’s a simple observation — and one most of us know well.

Mistakes happen faster when we rush.
Details get missed.
Things fall out of alignment.

In Japanese, there is a phrase:

急がば回れ (Isogaba maware)
When you are in a hurry, take the long way around.

The meaning is clear:

Rushing often leads to failure.
Slowing down leads to better outcomes.

It’s not about doing less —
it’s about doing things with care.

This month is a gentle reminder:

Pause before you move.
Take the extra moment.
Trust the slower path.

Because more often than not —
it’s the one that gets you where you actually want to go.
