“If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over”

John Wooden

Simplified Meaning:

When you're always in a hurry and don't take the time to do things properly, you might make mistakes. These mistakes will need to be fixed later, and finding time to fix them could be even harder. Imagine rushing through your homework and getting many answers wrong. You will have to redo it, which means spending more time than if you had done it carefully from the beginning. It’s smarter to take your time and do things correctly the first time around. This way, you avoid having to go back and fix errors later, saving yourself time and hassle. Applying this to your life, whether it's schoolwork, a project at work, or even cooking a meal, doing things right initially saves you from future problems and extra effort.
