Every situation we find ourselves, it’s best if we act with urgency and purpose as soon as possible (a stitch in time); before the situation escalates and gets complicated and would need a lot more effort to regain control (saves nine). A stitch in time will save the need for nine stitches. In layman’s terms: if you see small tear for your trouser, amend am immediately with the stitch in time; no say make i manage am go comeback because that small hole go don turn “otolo”. 2 Likes |
