- It's an anagram of "STAMINA INCENTIVE THESIS" if that helps
- Once while washing my trousers, I noticed that a stitch in the bottom part of my pocket has been broken, A tiny gap, I said and ignored it. Next day I wore the dress to office. While I was leaving home my little son came to me and gave me a marble with a request to buy a similar one. I put the marbl3 into the Trouser Pocket, absent minded. In the evening, before returning from the city, I stopped at the shop to buy the marble. But the sample was not in the pocket. Instead there was a hole as big as five stitches. Somehow I managed to buy two marbles of the size my son had wanted. I placed them in the bag and delivered securely to the beneficiary, But forgot totally to mend the gaping hole in the Pocket.. I have completed half your speech and now you must take over!
- I found this in yahoo answers Best Answer - Chosen by Asker You could summarize by saying, "A little preventative maintenance can eliminate the need for repairs later. This proverb warns us against neglecting small faults or imperfections which may lead to further damage or increased problems later. "A stitch in time saves nine" advises us to realize the value of time management and that small things do make a big difference. We should all learn that it is best to work diligently, consciensciously, and carefully while using our time wisely and efficiently. I thought it was good!
- I don't know if I could write the speech for you but if I had to write a speech about it I would start off by talking about or defining what a proverb is. Proverbs come from oral tradition and they usually have some sort of advice in them or they state a generally known truth about something. I did find that Ben Franklin said, "A stitch in time saves nine." He meant that quick and speedy repairs of small problems can save bigger repairs and more headaches in the future. And I guess you could argue this proverb with another proverb that says "Haste makes Waste". I attached two sites for you to look at. Hope this helps
- To avoid more problems you must act fast and take care of small problems. Just as one broken stitch can open up and require nine stitches later, if a problem is not handled on time it can become very large or big problem. In other words nip it in the butt an American Slang. Prevention is batter then cure.
- a stisch in time saves nine pretty similar to the early bird catches the worm do your work in time
