J: Did you decide which company you want to work with?

A: Yep, I think I’m going with the one in the city.

J: Wow, that was quick! Are you sure you’re not rushing into it? Haste makes waste, you know.

A: I know, John. But I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I feel good about it.

J: Good call! No harm in being thorough.

제가 어떤 결정을 너무 빨리 내렸더니, John이 급할수록 돌아가라고 말했습니다.

Haste makes waste.

서두르다 망친다. 그러니까 일을 빨리 한다고 시간이 절약되는 것이 아니라, 일을 빨리 하다가 잘못되면, 잘못된 걸 고치는데 시간이 더 걸린다는 뜻입니다. 서두르면 일을 그르치는 법이다.
