Look before you leap

Too excited. As I was reading what was written on the application of a social networking which I subscribed, a certain line caught my attention - “Look before you leap”. I know that most of us are already very familiar with this food for thought, but what struck me most is that despite its familiarity it is one of the things that I overlooked a lot. I am the type who would normally act on impulse, especially when I am under pressure causing me to say or do things that I know I would definitely regret later. Since this happened to me a lot of times already, I guess it’s about time for me not rush on the first whim. Take time to think things through before snapping out a comeback. I know it’s not that easy, but a little time to “just breathe” will do the trick. Oh come on! We don’t want to be wasting time thinking about our 75th birthday party ideas even if we’re just about to turn 21 simply because we got too excited. Surely, that would be impractical and just plain stupidity.
