Nip in the bud is a preparation for sudden crisis, a prediction of future situation and corresponding measures. Build a dike before the flood, and the jackal will sharpen his knife first in the future. There is an idiom in China, save for a rainy day, which is the truth. Repair the roof before it rains, so that when the storm comes, you can avoid the wind and rain in a warm room. When the Asian financial crisis swept across the world, when Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other neighboring countries were mired in the quagmire of financial tycoon Soros, due to the foresight of our leaders, we prepared rich foreign exchange reserves for the national economy to cope with the sudden financial crisis, and then adopted various active and effective preventive measures, so that China's economy maintained a stable development in the Asian financial crisis, became the mainstay of Asia, and won the unanimous respect of all countries in the world. It can be seen that nip in the bud can avoid sudden disasters and minimize future losses.
Better prepare for a rainy day than mend it. Instead of taking measures to make up after the accident, it is better to prevent possible crises before the accident. Imagine, if the sheep breeder mended the hole in the sheepfold before the wolf came, how could the wolf take the sheep away? Building roofs before storms, building dams before floods, and storing food before famine years are better options than rebuilding houses that have been blown down after storms, fighting floods after floods, and distributing food relief after famine years, so as to nip in the bud.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, nip in the bud, is a wise man to avoid disasters, is the best measure to reduce losses. In a crisis-ridden society, both countries and individuals should firmly grasp the key to nip in the bud, open the door to a safe and stable future, and shut out disasters and misfortunes.
