Hasten Slowly, Avoid Zero Error Syndrome and No Reaction Time
‘Hasten slowly’ are two simple antonymous words consisting of a simple self- contradictory statement ladening with the grave meaning of life. It seems to be surprising, glancing that two inter-penetrated words are juxtaposed together to erupt the curiosity of the readers about its use and function. The very word ‘Hasten’ emerges from the word ‘haste’ denoting the meaning of the word ‘quick’ and ‘hasten’ is the verbal derivative of the word ‘haste’ laybaring the exegesis of ‘quicken’. What is about ‘slowly’? It epitomizes the reverse meaning of ‘quickly’. So, what does the statement mean? Actually, it connotes the sense of doing anything quickly, meticulously and sincerely. It is the trek of hurriedness with sincerity and dedication. This ‘hasten slowly’ goes quite opposite to the sense and sensibility of the two heinous bents of mind of modern era – ‘zero error syndrome’ and ‘no reaction time’. These two unnecessary evil tendencies pave the way to the suffocation of modern people de-capacitating their work spirit and abating the work standard. Thus, ‘hasten slowly’ should be positively nurtured to eliminate these two phrasal expressions of morbid mindset.
