PRECIS
Not a few of our troubles are the result of acting before thinking; we do our thinking afterwords and too late. It would be difficult to reckon how many friendships have been broken up simply because one of the friends did not use his head. He ought to have known; he did not know; but he simply did not think, and what he did or said cannot be undone or unsaid. Afterwards we recall the matter and wonder why we were such fools, and then we get out and play the same fool trick for the thousand-and-first time. A little thinking might save a thousand useless regrets. It is a difficult lesson to learn, but it can be mastered. It will not be easy, but it can be done, and it will repay a thousand-fold all the labour necessary for its accomplishment. To learn to think just before we speak, just before we act, is something which thousands never learn, and all their lifetime they regret the fact because of its inevitable consequences; and yet they might have learnt the lesson in early life and have saved themselves and their friends much unnecessary worry.

| Think before speak or act |
Answer:-
Think before speak or act
We often get into trouble by speaking or acting without thinking. We repent afterwards and wonder at our foolishness, but we do the same thing again. All these can be avoided if we learn to think before we speak or act. This is difficult, no doubt, but we can and must learn it. Otherwise, we shall suffer the inevitable consequences all our lifetime.
