What about something like this:
Always think before you make a move.
🙂
I recall a game I had a while back. My opponent told me he wanted to play 1.Bh6.
(not the exact position but very close to it. The bones are there.)

He thought about it and saw my threat of Qa3 so played 1.Bg6
intending to protect b2 with Rook c2 - he lost as in the following game.
What he failed to realise is that after 1.Bh6 I do not have time for 1...Qa3
Because White is threatening Qh8 mate.

So sometimes it's best to follow your instinct and NOT think before a move.
