文化背景

In Nepal, the concept of 'Bistari' (slowly) is a way of life. Rushing is often seen as a sign of lack of composure. The Newar community of Kathmandu Valley is famous for intricate wood carving. This proverb is a mantra for their artisans. Teachers use this to discourage students from 'ratante' (rote learning) and encourage deep understanding. Even in the fast-paced tech world of Nepal, this proverb is used to justify 'Quality Assurance' (QA) phases.
