Question

what is the meaning of "stitch in time saves 9"

Answer 1

You can minimize a problem by taking a small corrective action now rather than waiting to later on. For example, if your clothes seam comes loose, refastening it with one stitch now will save you from having to make nine stitches tomorrow when the seam has loosened even more. Expanding on that, if there is a small plumbing leak in your house today and you fix it now, it will be less work than if you wait for a ceiling to be ruined too. 

Answer 2

Answer:

A stitch in time saves nine

The proverb "a stitch in time saves nine" means that it is better to deal with problems as early as possible. If we don't sort out a problem immediately it may become more difficult and harder to solve it in future.

This proverb is derived from the action of promptly sewing up of a small hole in our clothes to prevent it from tearing further and becoming larger. It is better to deal with a problem immediately because if we delay the problem is likely to get worse and more difficult to deal with later. When a problem is left undone due to procrastination or delay it will become harder and harder to cope with. It may cause lost or more difficult troubles in future.

We must never put off doing something until a later time. What can be done today must not be kept pending for tomorrow. If we can manage every problem in time, life will become less burdensome, less worrisome and easier.
