A Watched Kettle Never Boils Proverbs Expansion

When we are waiting for anything, we feel that time is passing very slowly. We put a kettle of water on the stove to boil. If we watch it, very often we feel that too much time is taken for boiling. Actually it does not take a long time, but we are in a hurry and so we feel that it is so. Sufficient time is essential for anything to complete. It will be foolish if we expect to achieve anything in a short while. If we want to achieve success in anything, we must possess certain qualities. Earnestness, patience, perseverance, effort and industry are essential qualities. Therefore haste and impatience are hurdles in the way of our success.
