Mbwa wa lubilu ushiile nyama panshi. (Tshiluba)
Un chien trop rapide dépasse sa proie. (French)
A dog running too fast leaves its prey on the ground. (English)
The proverb advises not to do things too quickly. Slow down! Or you might lose the very thing that really matters.
This can apply to the student who wants to learn too fast, does not understand the subject and ends up not passing his exams. It can apply to the overzealous man who sees all his projects fail.
