The worst part in waiting is knowing that you are stuck in one place, right? I mean in every situation you feel like you're not moving forward...because you're waiting for something. But I've learned that the best part in waiting is we can change the way we respond to that situation, we can still enjoy the moment...even if the things we wait and hope for didn't happen yet...We can keep the good attitude, we can do something to make our lives productive, something we can make use of our time properly while in the midst of waiting in whatever situation we are in. we can choose not to feel impatient. How about you? Are you Patient enough to wait?

Waiting for someone could really be killing, when the wait seems endless. It appears disgusting to me, when I am forced to wait. However, I try to utilise my time, in reading something, if I have something to read or calling someone, if I can or simply by observing people/strangers around me, who do the behave and act in a particular situation. A pertinent post!

waiting in life gives you hope... waiting for someone thrives your heart... waiting for your friends never pull you apart... waiting for your family enriches the beauty of care... waiting for your love fills eyes with a passionate glare... waiting for life gives you hope ... unless its hard to cope... sometimes the waiting never ends.. our hearts message it never sends... sometimes its so hard to wait.. when your wait turns too late... eyes turns fade and heart out of state... I bet you cant wait ...forever I bet... I have opened a debate...its still not late.. post your comments...and let us know your fate...

the worst part in waiting is the uncertainty. you don't know if your waiting will result positively or you'll just end up getting hurt and regretting that you waited. the best part of waiting for me is that you get time to figure out things. you get to think about if all this waiting is gonna do you any good or if it'll just hurt you.

Nope i am never patient. I don't like to wait for anything as i believe that things should be done as fast as possible. However it's never like that in my case as God has planned something different for me. He always says that the best things in life are worth waiting for. I completely disagree with that. I want all things in life o be done very fats as i don't know when my life would end.

The worst part in waiting is waiting in vain and having nothing in return. You suffer, become stress and think of it all the time. But the good thing is when you got it done you will be happy.

It depends on what or who you're waiting for. One of the best parts in waiting for me right now, is that I get to have time to update my journal. I started a journal after my bad breakup a few months ago, and I am almost halfway through my journal. I remember writing while waiting for my job interviews and I know I look a little weird because I am scribbling like crazy when everyone is making friends or nervously fidgeting around. The worst part is when after you have spent time waiting, you realize that there is nothing that you are really waiting for and that your fingers are now smudged in ink.

the worst part in waiting is what you are waiting for may not come.you may wait for a long time but it doesn't guarantee that it will come.instead of wasting your time waiting for something,I suggest that you just live life and let fate do its job.if what you are waiting for will come,great.if it doesn't,life has lots of other options.

Waiting for something caan be both a blessing and a curse at times. The worst part of waiting is the anxiety you feel inside. Feeling anxious and waiting for something can make you miss out on more important things in life. The best part of waiting is the anticipation of a great event. Patience is indde a virtue. We spend a great deal of our lives waiting for something. If we do it with a positive attitude and a good outlook on life, it makes the waiting easier.

I waiting in all forms... it mere injustice that you make another person wait for you , let's say that you stood a person for 30 minutes and there are 6 of them waiting for you.. once you waste the 30 mins , you multiply the injustice by 6 and you unjustly waste 3 hours of their total time...

The worst part of waiting is when we wait for someone and the best part of waiting it when someone waits for us.

Waiting for someone in life is so hard but if you wait and succeed it is the very best part in your life. In case if you fail to get the person even after you had waited for him/her for longtime, you feel depress very much. But dont loose your heart as you don't get it eventhough you have waited for lovedones, atleast oneday he/she will come to about you very much and realize about you how much he/she would have lost you.

second thing i hate doing in this world is waiting. hehehe.. especially when i don't know what to wait. it makes me go crazy. cases like falling in line waiting for my turn to be served in grocery counter or in a doctor's clinic can make me so impatient but the thing with me is that i stay. hehehe..

That depends on what i am waiting for. If i am waiting for someone(for a meeting)i am not very patient,half an hour is enough,if he/she doesn't show up without giving me advice for being delayed,well,i surely leave the meeting place. But,if i am waiting for something,a plan,or an event. I will wait till it comes,or be finished. In between the waiting time,we always learn good and bad things. We can measure our patience,and,we are given sometime to think whether it is worth waiting for. The best part of it is,we know we wait for something that we longed and hoped to happen. The worst part is,when we know it is about to happen,on the verge of reality,suddenly it crashed down before our very eyes.

I am a patient person also. I can wait...I think that's me since when I was a kid. My parents brought me that way to be very patient in everything I do, particularly on the attitude of my siblings.
