The Right Wait
Every day, one inevitable yet can do without activity comes to us.... the act of waiting. Even when switching on this computer, i have to wait 3 minutes for it to load completely.
What strikes me is the much time wasted whenever we do this activity... time that is innocently lost. We wait for ourselves and most annoyigly, others.
From young, we waited for our parents or caretakers to take care of our every single needs. Then, there was the irritating adolescent periods of our lives where we wait, almost zealously and impatiently for our body to grow up. To the desirable adult form. Many of my friends kept wondering when will they start to get taller, stronger and leaner after shedding those baby fat.
Sadly, at the back of their mind, they know that they will have to wait.... to wait for their body to keep up with what they want to become.
I had become accustomed with the act of waiting myself quite frankly. I waited 45 minutes just to consult a doctor for less than 5 minutes. Then, i waited another 1 hour for my prescription to come. An act that requires no more than 15 minutes had 1 and a half hour wasted.
The requirements of wait is demanding, yet with good time management, much could be achieved if the waiting time allows.
As for those friends who arrive 10 minutes late always, they should have known better.
