Stick in time saves time is a phrase that gives us a deep meaning. This phrase means we ought to sort a problem immediately when noted than face the bigger consequences later. This even saves a lot of time.
We may come across this phrase in every walk of life.
This is a common story told to describe the phrase “A stitch in time saves nine”
"Long time ago there lived a fisherman who used to go out into the waters to fish for his living. Once while in was out fishing, he notices a small crack on the side of his boat, he didn't care much as it was just a small crack on the side.
So with the crack on the boat, he continued fishing and fishing. He later noticed that the deep waters had plenty of fish in them. Without giving a second thought he started fishing into the deep waters.
The fisherman was so happy that he had plenty of fish to sell and that he could now earn a lot of money. Little did he know that the crack on the boat had become big due to the heavy waves in the deep waters.
As usual, one day he left for fishing into the deep waters. But there was an unexpected storm that arose whilst he was amidst the waters. The waves grew stronger and the crack in the boat became bigger. Unfortunately, the water started to enter the boat and the boat save.
If the fisherman had fixed the crack in the first place, he and his boat would have been saved.
Hence the phrase “ A stitch in time saves nine”
This phrase can be applied in our lives, relationships too. A small misunderstanding can be sorted out in the first place than a separation later.
We must learn to let go of our ego, hatred, bitterness and approach the person and sort things out. This can personally motivate us to be a better and happy person, a person whom others can look onto.
We can avoid the bitterness or sorrows in life by following these simple things. It is always better to fix a problem when it is small than to wait and let it become a bigger problem.
Hope we follow these in our life to become a better and healthy person each day.
