<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question
What does the expression “good things come to those who wait” mean
to you and how have you seen this in your own life? Use examples and details
to illustrate your response.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer
I think “Good things come to those who wait” means that it
is not always good to rush things. Those who are patient and
wait will have the best end results. I saw this in my own
life recently. My friend and I both needed to buy some
things at the store, but when we got there the line was very
long at the checkout counter. My friend did not want to
wait, so he started walking back to our dorm. It takes 15
minutes to walk from our dorm to the store, but the line was
so long my friend didn’t think it was worth it. I waited in
line, and while I waited, I noticed it started raining very
hard outside. After I paid for my things and left, it
stopped raining. When I got back to the dorm, I noticed that
my friend was soaking wet from head to foot. I was dry and
had my items, but my friend was wet and still needed to go
to the store. All of this because I waited.
