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

Answer 1

Go after your dreams and passions with the tenacity of a Pit bull, but sometimes you can not have until you, and, or it are ready.
*You may want the cake, but can't eat it til it's baked and decorated - well, you could, but it would definitely not be as yummy and pleasing to the eye.
** Plus, somethings are best when waited for. Remember the wrapping on the gift? The slow hand of a lover? the anxious pleasure of waiting for package or letter?
***Think of it as tenacious patience.

Answer 2

Naw. The first people in line are generally in the buffet line.

Fast and easy, but of somewhat dubious quality.

Best to sit back, review the menu and with a glass of wine, anticipate the meal and enjoy the ambiance.

The "leftovers" are only the choice items that, in their frenzy, the gluttons missed.

Well worth waiting for.

Answer 3

Not at all! The good things that come to those who wait are the things that are even better than what the people who were too impatient get, just wait a little longer and you'll see ;)

Answer 4

Leftovers and sloppy seconds

Answer 5

Personally I dont mind sloppy seconds. In my experience that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Answer 6

Not always. I've gotten something brand new but because it was through a government agency, I had to be approved a grant so that I could get it at no cost to me.

Answer 7

Does that mean people that are serving a long sentence in jail are going to win the lottery when they get out?

Answer 8

Yes that is very true , especially if the people who got there first had double helpings : )

Answer 9

What! Who ya callin' a leftover?

Answer 10

Well at least the baggage is always of the highest quality. It doesn't seem to tear open or...go away or anything.
