"地獄への道は進行中の作業で舗装されている。"
— Philip Roth
Simplified Meaning:
When people start projects but never finish them, it can lead to bad outcomes. Think about cleaning your room: if you start but never finish, your room stays messy and becomes harder to clean over time. In a bigger sense, in your job or in school, always having things half-done can make you stressed and less productive. Having incomplete tasks can get in the way of reaching your goals and make everything feel overwhelming. It’s better to focus on finishing one thing at a time to avoid these problems. For example, if an architect begins designing a building but never finishes, the building can't be used and the resources are wasted. To avoid this, it’s crucial to focus on completing each task you start before moving on to the next one.
