English Proverbs - Look Before You Leap

Before doing, think through all the repercussions, especially if you can't undo it.

Azam: I want to study for an MBA.
Azmi: The degree is pricey, and you'll also be unemployed for two years after receiving it. Look before you leap, I would advise.

English Proverbs - Long Absent, Soon Forgotten


Long Absent, Soon Forgotten

Meaning:

Example:

My college pal and I haven't spoken in years, and now I find it awkward to call. I suppose I've changed. Long absent, soon forgotten.
