Two Meanings of Waiting



There are two meanings of waiting, one is waiting for nothing and the other is moving while waiting. Let me discussed you the first one, waiting for nothing is very simple it is like waiting to have a job then an email was sent to your inbox and says you are not qualified. You are very optimistic so you apply for another job again and wait for the result again. This time no email was send to you, the company was very professional and called you and tell you that you are not qualified for the job but you may apply for another position, a less challenging and smaller salary position and because you didn’t like it you refuse to take the chance. You wait for another job opening and it makes you wait for months and to keep yourself away from boredom you go to party every night, drinking and complaining to your friends how unfortunate you are in finding the right job. This is waiting for nothing, you keep yourself stuck in a position where destiny will dictate your life where to go.  Moving while waiting is totally different, you are still waiting for something but you are aware that it might not come so you take an alternative way. A perfect example is a 30 year old man waiting for his approval in working for overseas, while this guy is waiting he still working for part time jobs so his pocket won’t be empty and at least he still have something when he gets rejected for his application. Other than that he is also operating a small business that will provide his family in the future, this business is buy and sell it only provide small profits but the good thing is it is earning. Waiting for something for a long time drives us crazy and hopeless, we need to find an alternative that will somehow ease the burden that we carry on our shoulders.

  1. A lovely blog! And it is true, often we are waiting for the big thing to come and that way we miss the small things.
