Who can explain why the mind makes strange detours into rabbit holes that seem so very strange only to come out the other side thinking, huh…
So for no particular reason at all, I was thinking about the wood working axiom of measure twice, cut once. As my mind was thinking on it, I began to generalize the expression on how it applies to other areas in life…here are just a few of the ones I thought of. Please add your own to this list, or create your own from a different axiom.
Listen twice, respond once
Think twice, speak once
Look twice, move once
Consider twice, empathize once
