Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:

Acting wisely before problems get out of hand is very important. Imagine you have a car, and it starts making a strange noise. If you take it to the mechanic right away, the fix might be simple and cheap. But if you ignore the noise, the car could break down, and the repair might become much more expensive. This idea can be applied to our personal lives too. For example, when we notice we are feeling mentally tired, it’s a good idea to slow down and rest before we get completely burnt out. By taking smart actions early, we can avoid bigger issues later on. This is what being wise in time means - it’s about using our good judgment at the right moment to make life easier and avoid tougher situations.
