Hasty climbers have sudden falls.

Summary

This quote means that those who rush and take shortcuts to achieve success or riches often end up experiencing sudden and drastic failures. When individuals strive to reach the top without putting in the necessary time, effort, and patience, they are more likely to make impulsive decisions and overlook important details. Consequently, their lack of thoroughness and preparation can lead to significant setbacks or even catastrophic consequences. It serves as a reminder to prioritize a diligent and gradual approach to success in order to sustain and build upon achievements over time.
