Thanks for the question!

Take care!Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, i think it depends on what it is that your waiting for!. like say if you have to wait another two hours before you can have something to eat, then of course the food is going to seem like heaven!. i think that anyone can be patient in attaining something, but if you're perpetually certain that that something is going to be yours, then the amount of appreciation for it can be compromised!. Sometimes when people wait for something and constantly worry that it may not be true, but then ends up being true, then i think that they may value it more!. It can go both ways!. or several ways!. Sorta make sense!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Magnificently vague! This something I am presumed to be waiting for has value!? By gosh, it could very well be a rendezvous with Petra Marklund, a perfectly seasoned pork chop at the restaurant across town, or!.!.!. something!.

If I have to wait for a something rather than Petra, you're responsible, Brad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, if you had to wait 100 years to have sex for the first time, would you value it more!?

The point I'm making is that each thing has its own time frame for when it is too soon or too late!. All that means is that you cannot come up with a general one size fits all answer to your question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would have to, Yes, I suppose that I do Value things More when you have to wait for them, also, I would like to say that, I Value all of the things that I get, no matter how rubbish I might think t is, A Gift is still A Gift, NO matter what it is, or how long you have to wait for it!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Given a choice, I rather have it now!. And I really hate when I spent lots of time and hard work to get something that is not as great as it seemed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not necessarily!. I have to wait for my bills to arrive, but the anticipation does not make them more attractive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
