Learn the English Sayings HASTE MAKES WASTE and WASTE NOT WANT NOT

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases HASTE MAKES WASTE and WASTE NOT WANT NOT
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, haste makes waste. This is an English saying, you could even call it an English proverb, that means that if you do something really quickly, it's not always the best way to do it. Sometimes haste makes waste. When I was younger, I worked for my uncle, and we built houses. And I know that sometimes we carefully cut the wood to build the house, because we knew if we went too fast, if there was a lot of haste, we also had a lot of waste. That means if we worked quickly, we wouldn't always cut things the right length, and then that piece of wood would be kind of useless for building the house. By the way, we always had a saying, measure twice, cut once, when we were building houses. I think that's another good saying. So anyways, when you say haste makes waste, it means that when you do something really fast, you're probably going to be inefficient, and maybe even create some waste while you're doing it.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is another old phrase, or saying, or proverb, and that is waste not, want not. My mum used to say this a lot when I was a kid. When I came home from school, if I hadn't eaten my lunch, and if the banana had gotten mushed, or the apple was no longer good to eat, because I had sat on my bookbag on the bus, she would say, hey, waste not, want not. And basically what this phrase means is if you don't waste anything in life, if you are good at using all of your groceries, and everything you buy, you will probably not want a lot of things in your life. Basically, that's not quite what I mean to say, when you don't waste things, you actually save money. That's basically what the phrase means. So when you don't waste, it's like you're saving money at the same time. Because if you do waste things, you end up spending more money. Hopefully that made some sense.
Anyways, to review, haste makes waste simply means if you do something fast, you might do it inefficiently, and you might actually waste some things. And waste not, want not means that if you make sure you don't waste things, you will actually be better off financially, I guess, in terms of money.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Andrew. The comment is this. We have an absolutely identical phrase in Russian, to freeze your butt off. I can elaborate on the topic. As an expert at freezing, I can testify. Yes, in winter, if you sit in the snow or on ice, steel, et cetera, the first part that freezes off is your buttock. In the standing position, it can happen when your jacket is short, but often it is your hands and feet that suffer first. Walking can help warm your feet. Plus putting hands into your armpits, definitely, criss-crossed will save them. Men should consider another item. Also your face, especially your nose and cheekbone areas, gets a severe cold blow if uncovered, and exposed to cold windy conditions. My response, that's why I like having a longer winter coat that covers the small of my back and my butt. My current coat is a bit too short. It doesn't quite go down long enough. It really helps to stay warm when you have a longer one.
So a lot of information for those of you who maybe don't know a lot about living in a colder climate. I'm going to turn slowly, and I'm gonna spin you around to show you that we are starting to have a nice carpet of leaves on the ground. It's a really nice time here in Ontario, Canada. Things are starting to look quite nice, and the leaves are starting to fall. You might have even seen some leaves falling as I was teaching the lesson. That's quite possible. I know when I was walking outside to do it, a few leaves were falling off the trees.
Anyways, a little lesson on waste and haste, and wants, a little lesson on how to buy a good winter coat. And as always, a little bit of a view of the outdoors. See ya in a couple days with another short English lesson, bye.

I moved from California to the Pacific Northwest and always complained about the chilly and wet winter until I had a trip to Oshawa several years ago. It was already late March, but I felt completely freezing even with two thick winter coats layered on. That was the coldest weather I've ever experienced in my life. Stay warm, Bob! 😊

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

The trouble with that time of year is that it can be both cold and wet. Cold and wet weather makes for miserable days! 😎🎩🍫

As Andrew said, we can thank you for dealing with a lot of things in life - like these phrases. Thanks.

Hi dear teacher! I like old fashion sayings, quotes and proverbs. They seem cute and simple but have deep meaning though! 🧐 If we don't waste things we will not be short of things. If we use our resources carefully we shall never be in need! 🛒 And make haste everyone the new lesson about every day items will start in an hour!🔔

[@Aleksey_FE]

Yeah, oldie but goodie.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I like these older phrases to. Unfortunately they aren't really used that much anymore. I think they're still worth learning though! 😎🎩🍫

[@valeriaszasz9242]

Hi teacher Bob! The first saying is a real tounge-twister for english learners. Measure twice, cut once is a useful warning before someone works with sharp tools. Thanks for the lesson, have a nice weekend.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

Tongue twisters are great practice! 😎🎩🍫

[@andrespadron992]

Very good sayings Mr. Bob. My mom says "The one that saves things always has things", that sounds better in Spanish, I don't even think that's a good translation of this Spanish saying but it's a little bit Related to Waste not, want not.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I like that saying too! 😎🎩🍫

[@tammytsang3487]

Waste not, want not. The above statement is exceptionally suitable for the time being as we all face inflation and need to make the most of everything. Thank you Teacher Bob for this interesting video.

Ha-ha-ha, I can't stop smiling, You made my day. Thank you very much Teacher Bob for responding to our comments. I consider the comment box to be part of the tutorial and learn a lot from it. Can't still wrap my head around the fact that you can deal with so many things in life like the day job, farm management, parenting, self-education, teaching English on KZbin, and on top of that, answering all the comments, really hard to comprehend.🎇🎆✨

Russians say, "Measure seven times, cut once." Sure thing, no one measures 7 times.😎 It's just kind of a magic number. There are many sayings with the number 7. BTW, the word family in Russian comes from 7 (like 7 & me) and means that the family is 7 parts of you. So, Bob plus Jen plus 5 kids is a perfect family, at least in the mathematical sense of that Russian word. 👍👍👍

[@andrewsmith629]

Perhaps you mean (7 me) instead of (7 & me)?

I realize that we cannot live without some portion of rush. Especially when we are young. Maybe after retirement we will slow down our energy, enjoying what we will have achieved 😎 Definitely, we should perform a good work. So quantity would equal quality. Without haste, but not slow enough 😉

Wooh! Wait a minute! What’s going on, Mr. Bob?! Talking about butts in two videos, and now that men’s “item”! Are you going to teach that item in the livestream today? I hope not! And don’t worry if your winter coat isn’t long enough to cover that “item”, because that “item” gets a little shorter in the cold as well! haha P.S Sorry for this dirty comment. Please don’t kick me out.

Hi Bob, As usual your lessons are great and very helpful too, a thousand thanks for that! For sure, it is a pity that you cannot teach English in schools in France, it is sure that this would significantly help to raise the poor rank of France in knowing how to speak English. Although, let me give you some literal French translations that you perhaps might find helpful in a future conversation. Haste makes waste : « Ouvrage hâté, ouvrage gâté » « Il ne faut pas confondre vitesse et précipitation » ("there's no point in rushing to waste time at the end"). Waste not, want not : « Ne pas gaspiller, pour ne pas manquer » « Ne gaspille pas, ne demande pas « Qui épargne, gagne » « L'économie protège du besoin » These expressions remind me of the fable by Jean de la Fontaine : « La cigale 🦗 et la fourmi 🐜 » (« The grasshopper and the ant » See you soon and, I wish you all the best.

[@bobsshortenglishlessons]

I will make sure I read that fable this weekend! 😎🎩🍫
