Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. — WILLIAM A. WARD

Antes de hablar, escuchemos. Antes de escribir, pensemos. Antes de gastar, ganemos. Antes de invertir, investiguemos. Antes de criticar, aguardemos. Antes de rezar, perdonemos. Antes de renunciar, intentémoslo. Antes de jubilarnos, ahorremos. Antes de morir, demos.

Think before you speak, read before you think.

Build before you have to.

– Build knowledge before you have to.<br/>– Build strength before you have to.<br/>– Build an emergency fund before you have to.

Let internal pressure drive you today, so you can handle external pressure tomorrow.

Think before you speak. Read before you think.

Read older books and primary source materials.
Read algorithms, skim data, skip stories.

فكر قبل أن تتكلم، واقرأ قبل أن تفكر

Before starting, finish it, and before having your first step, reach your destination. Therefore, before making decision on something, try to be foresight, look at the probabilities to the possible extent and analyse them.

...The more I learned the more I realized how very much one has to know before one is in-the-know at all.

When most people decide they want to start a business, their first intuition is to learn more — read a book, take a course, seek out advice — and then take action after having carefully considered all the facts. After all, there are a ton of top-rated MBA programs, $10 Udemy courses, free YouTube videos, and entrepreneurship how-to books — so why wouldn’t you learn all you could? That’s got to be a whole lot safer, and it probably makes you a lot less likely to fail, right? Wrong. Overthinking seems like the “smart” way to launch, but it’s far less effective. Super-successful people do the opposite — they take action first, get real feedback, and learn from that, which is a million times more valuable than any book or course. And quicker!

Live morality before you talk to him. Practicing meditation before you preach. Goodness taste before you recommend. Gain bliss before you offer to others.

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.
