聰明的人往往優柔寡斷，勤奮的人卻能快速實現聰明人一直在醞釀卻遲遲不行動的事情。傻瓜喜歡速決，因為他們不知道其中的關鍵，毫無準備就開始工作。另一方面，智者卻常常由於遇事猶豫不決而導致失敗。他們的先見之明讓他們必須深思熟慮，卻因此而錯過良機。敏捷行事是幸運之母。一個從不把今天的事情留到明天的人必有所成。有句話說得極妙：忙裏須偷閒，緩中須帶急。

Diligent and Intelligent

Diligence promptly executes what intelligenceslowly excogitates. Hurry is the failing of fools; they know not the crucialpoint and set to work without preparation. On the other hand, the wise moreoften fail from procrastination; foresight begets deliberation, and remissaction often nullifies prompt judgment. Celerity is the mother of good fortune.He has done much who leaves nothing over till tomorrow. “Make haste slowly” isa royal motto.
