Aren't the 'good things that come to those who wait' just the leftovers from the people that got there first?

Answer 1

You're so right. I'm one of those who always would say that, too. But if you sit around and wait, next thing you know, life will have passed you by.

Answer 2

Sometimes the cook or other 'guests' messed the first meal up.
Takes a while to know how to cook it right, and how to appreciate it.
I'm not sure I'd actually appreciate a bad meal cooked by a scared-to-death young bride burning her first stew and her hubby, hungry, tries to stomach it but sneaks it to the dawg! Sheesh!

Perhaps the wise man waits until he knows what is good himself and how to attract a good cook! Leftovers can be finely distilled, like fine wine or cognac, savored slowly.

Answer 3

Naw. the 1st human beings in line are frequently interior the buffet line. quickly and undemanding, yet of actually doubtful high quality. ideal to sit down down decrease back, overview the menu and with a tumbler of wine, assume the meal and revel interior the ecosystem. The "leftovers" are basically the alternative products that, of their frenzy, the gluttons ignored. fairly nicely worth waiting for.

Answer 4

One person's leftovers could be another person's feast.

Answer 5

I had never thought of it like that before. I hope not. I'd like to think that sometimes we get there first.
