“Measure twice, cut once.”

My dad is very handy, and growing up, I assisted him on fun carpentry tasks around the house also volunteered with him doing set-building for a local theatre company. Every time we worked on something, he would remind me to “measure twice, cut once.” Preparation is incredibly important all aspects of life, and it’s imperative to be certain that what you’re doing is right before you make any irreversible changes.
