| Feb 14, 2020 at 9:29 | comment | added | jazelly | Thanks, the first one is right on point, but the second and third one is kind of off the topic, as IMO, it only strengthens the importance of attention to details or trivial stuff. What I want to promote is the point to stop making mistakes in the early stage. | |
