Anxious waiting has become habit
When a girl is born, parents wait when she wil grow and get married
After thateverybody waits anxiously when she conceives and deliver a baby
when baby is delivered people wait when he/she will start moving, walking
then everybody waits when he/she will go to school and how will he/she fair there
Then people wait to see how he/she performs each year/ high school diploma, Junior college
then wait is for whether he/she will get admissio in good school ,
then wait is for good under graduate school
Then the painstaking wait for good job
Then for project/graduate school in USA
Whether F1/H1 will be availed
Wait for receipt for F1/H1 then H1
then wait and cry for the receiot for LC, 140, 485, F, AP, EAD, PP, Plastic card, Citizenship,
The problem is there after these people will start getting anxious about their kids, whether he/she will get it into MIT, Harward, Carnegie.
The good side is the anxiety paves the way for progress, the bad part is these people never enjoy the life in true sense.
75% of life goes in working hard and 25% for worrying for results, receipts stamps, plastic cards.
So is the story of professional waiters.........If there is nothing to wait for or no anxiety, these people may go Mad with vacuum.
So to each his own.
