Hasten Slowly, Avoid Zero Error Syndrome and No Reaction Time By Md Mohidur Rahman Introduction- H asten slowly’ are two simple antonymous words consisting of a simple self- contradictory statement laden with the grave meaning of life . It is surprising that two words of opposite meaning are juxtaposed together to erupt the curiosity of the readers about its use and function. The word ‘Hasten’ is the verbal derivative of the word ‘haste’, denoting the meaning of the word ‘quicken’. What is about ‘slowly’? It epitomizes the reverse meaning of the word ‘quickly.’ So, what does the statement mean? It connotes the sense of doing anything quickly, meticulously, and sincerely. It is the trek of hurriedness with sincerity and dedication. Thus, the expression ‘hasten slowly’ goes opposite to the sense of the two heinous trends of the modern era – “zero error syndrome” and “no reaction time.” These two unnecessary evil tendencies pave the way to the suffocation of today’s people de-capacitating their work spirit and diminishing the work standard. Thus, ‘hasten slowly’ should be positively nurtured to eliminate these two phrasal expressions of morbid mindset.
