Don't dig a deeper hole

Sometimes what you do for instant gratification or temporary relief can have permanent consequences. You won't get very far in reaching your goals in life if you have to keep cleaning up after your shortcuts or shortcomings. Things that could have been avoided by simply not reacting till you have taken the time to think it through. Sometimes taking one tiny step in the right direction will get you further than three steps forward that can only lead you to a bigger, deeper, and rougher hole than the one you are in now.
