----- LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP -----

There are some persons who take quick and impulsive decisions. Such persons may suffer in the end because of these rash and impulsive decisions take by them. The proverb – ‘Look Before you Leap’ – cautions those people who undertake to do something without weighing the pros and cons. It emphasizes the need for precaution and thorough thinking before a person decides to do something. Some persons are impulsive by nature. They act rashly and repent later. So one should venture into something after a thorough survey and cool calculation have been made Otherwise one’s adventure may become a misadventure. Suppose someone who has no experience of business makes heavy investment in a business enterprise without weighing the pros and cons, is likely to suffer a loss. Again, suppose someone is to swim across a river he should first assess his expertise as a swimmer and estimate the depth of the river. Only then he should jump into the water. A person is often ruined if he takes action foolishly and rashly.
