He gets through too late who goes too fast.

Speed that skips necessary steps arrives later than a steady pace, because the work comes back. The rushed job has to be redone, the hasty conversation needs a second one to repair it, the fast decision produces a month of correction. Hurry usually borrows time from a part of the process you cannot see yet.

When you feel yourself accelerating, ask what you are about to skip and whether it will hold. Slow the two or three steps that everything else depends on, and let the rest be quick. Finishing once is the fastest available method.
