In this advanced technology and fast pace society, our expectation for speed is raised. We do not enjoy waiting and we want things to work out fast and immediately. But not everything happens instantaneously. Especially the good things in life requires waiting.  When it comes to life stages and seasons, you cannot try to hurry through or speed them up. A baby will not skip from crawling to walking immediately. A 3-year degree course will not be  completed in 3-months. Why do we need to wait?
