The Agony of Waiting

Waiting is hard or excruciating for some who waits for a certain period of time. It may lasts for days, months, or even years. We all wait for various reasons: waiting for the results of the licensure exam, waiting for the answer of someone, waiting in line to get the papers done, waiting for your turn to be ushered by the waitress, waiting for the taxi or cab to take you home, waiting for someone to answer the phone on the the other end, waiting for someone to love you back, and as for John Mayer, waiting for the world to change.

It is agonizing especially if you are waiting for something or someone that will determine your future. It has been part of my life to learn how to wait. It started with lining up in government establishments that took waiting time on average of 4 hours. In the middle of it, there are times that I wanted to give up then suddenly would change my mind saying that to better finish it when I am already halfway through. What I learned from all the chaos of waiting is the virtue of patience. The waiting part of our life teaches us something to indulge in things that can occupy the useless time of waiting and thus doing something productive while that something or someone awaits you. Not the other way around.

Variation Law : If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Very true! Just make sure if you change lines, the other line is half the line of your previous line. If not, better stick to your original line.
