About This Quote
The author says that the best way to get things done is to take everything slowly. A rushed person will never achieve anything. Take time to do things, plan them out, and then go for it. Once you have started, if you have ever tried to rush a project feel the feel of failure that comes with it. A rush will bring results that are not what they should be.
