Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Haste makes waste.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.

In my daily life, there are many occasions where most people are in a hurry to do their work in time. On these situations, the environment expects a fast service to resolve a problem in a short time. In addition, this behavior could result in a real waste of time and effort.
