Haste leads to Waste

I was pondering on the year 2008 and thinking about all the problems that we all saw during this year. One common thing that struck me was that most of these problems were caused due to "Haste".

1) The financial markets have got ruined due to the "haste" in making money.
2) Have realized that most of the software projects fail due to the "haste" of getting them done. Haste in the software context is pretty expensive since the software does not work the way it is desired to work and the firm ends up wasting unnecessary amount of time and money.
3) Relationships break up, because people "haste" into them without giving a complete thought.

I hope we all learn from this and "Measure twice and cut once".
