to prepare for all possible outcomes; to be cautious
すべての可能な結果に備える; 慎重である (subete no kanōna kekka ni sonaeru; shinchō de aru)
"Make sure you cover your bases before presenting the report."
"レポートを提出する前に、カバー ユア ベイシス を確認してください。" (repōto o teishutsu suru mae ni, **kavā yua beishisu** o kakunin shite kudasai.)
The truth can be painful to hear.
to start having doubts about a decision you have made
to catch someone off guard; to surprise unexpectedly
a feeling of being calm and free from worry
to make a stressful situation easier
something boringly repetitive
