Well begun is half done.
好的开始是成功的一半。
If you start something badly, it will take a long time to finish because the bad start seriously affects the later work. But if you make a good start, everything follows naturally and easily. So the next time you start something, remember the saying, “Well begun is half done.”
如果你做某件事起步很不理想,那就需要花很长的时间才能完成它,因为不好的开始会严重影响到往后的工作。但如果你起步很顺利,接下来的每件事都会进行得很顺畅且轻而易举。所以下一次你开始从事某件事时,要记住这句话:『好的开始是成功的一半。”
