The proverb teaches us a good lesson. It teaches us that we should do the right thing at the right moment because timely action brings for us great success and achievement and prevents great loss. By observing the proverb we can save ourselves from all those injuries which arise from our neglect. We are naturally easy going and indolent. We do not like to finish a thing at its right moment. We are averse to repair a small defect. We first treat a little defect as trifle and thus a little defect grows apace and acquires the strength of a giant. But any weakness or defect should not be allowed to grow and take a firm root in us. It should be nipped in the bud. Nothing grows so quickly and appears to be venomons as an evil, so it should be remedied at the first opportunity. So we should form the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and this will save us from a lot of troubles. We should make our mind to act promptly. We must be always well prepared for all things. Thus the proverb is of great importance to us.
