Think Before You Do

English people have a slang: “Look before you jump.” This has a similar meaning to our Chinese proverb; ‘Think three times before you do.”
But, nowadays in this world, many people do things without paying any attention to the consequence. They just do anything whenever they like to do. It is of course dangerous to have troubles or disaster afterwards.
The meaning of the proverb “Think three times before you do.” can be applied to our daily life in many ways.
In small things from which we may suffer much if we do anything without deep thinking. For example, if we eat or drink too much in our meals which will cause our stomach painful. It is not so important because, by taking pills from doctors, we can recover to be well again in a few days.
But, in big things, if we do not think carefully before we do, it will be a fatal to us. Say that in order to earn big and quick money easily, we smuggle drugs as our job. Finally we will be surely caught by police and prison life will be the end of our life. Therefore, thinking deeply before we do anything. So that we shall never do any illegal thing to offend the law.
