Hurry makes worry or No hurry , no worry

              

                  “Hurry makes worry or No hurry, no worry.”

These statements always come true and influence a person’s life. Recently, I have come to know about a school child who fell victim to this statement.

9th class student secured fewer marks and was promoted to 10th. But his parents were not happy and shared his yearly efforts with me. His father pointed out that he completed answer sheets, yet he secured fewer marks.

I listened to both parents and sensed that he had the habit of making a hurry each work. All the time, the mother instructed the child,

“Do fast as you have lots of homework and complete the work before the time.”

At school, the maths or other subject teachers repeated what his mother had done at home. So, he became very fast in his work and did the work without reading properly. Further, he kept reading fast or in hurry and consequently, he secured fewer marks on each paper.

Then, his mother shared that he always finished the meal in no time and sometimes, he did the same things in daily work. The child fully developed a hurried nature and became a victim of it.

I have observed his answer sheets and concluded that he had completed his answer sheets, but he didn’t take the time for understanding those questions. In consequence, he tried to do his work fast before others and convinced his surrounding that he was capable to do the work.

Today, he didn’t like to slow in his work. Further, he always reacted to others hurriedly without any thought. He completely lost his thought and observation skills in his daily routine.

As everybody around him run after his work and insist on completing the work on time.

 On the other hand, we never believe in the given statement,

"Slow steady wins the race."
