  1. This quote means people do not want to wait on changes. Instead they want rush and do things on their own. They do not realize that waiting may be the best thing to do. When you rush to do something, you may be doing it wrong because you are not paying attention to waht you are doing.Therefore, it is better to wait and follow the correct directions at school, home, church, etc.

  2. I believe this quote is saying that many people have a hard time with trying to change, but change takes time, and a lot of effort! Change doesn't come over night ! Sometimes it takes months, and sometimes even years ! You can either change for the better or for the worst... but how ever you change it will affect in the long run ! How ever you change, it may not affect you right away, but it will affect soon or later !

  4. This quote means change will take time. Even though we want it to come as fast as possible. We have to be patient and wait. Change is hard. Sometimes it can be positive, sometimes negative. Still it will take time. For example smokers try to quit smoking but the know it will not be easy. Change is not always easy, but it is not always hard. Change will always take time just as the quote says.

  5. This quote is saying ,change take alot of composure & time. Many people can't recieve the concept of change because of their patience. Change sometimes take a while but you just have to be patient and believe that the outcome will be grand. Change also can be either good or bad, it all depends on what you want. If you change for the better and be patient with it then your going to get your desire. Be faithful to yourself and go in the right direction. Only you can find your destiny.

  6. I believe this quote is saying that change isn't on a clock. It happens when it happens. It doesn't have to be fast because it's always on time. People don't want to wait on change. They want it to come instantly and to their convenience. Many people don't understand that good things come to those who wait. A lot of people don't relieve that change isn't always good. There are bad changes and trying to rush a change probably isn't good.

  7. I think this quote is saying that not everyone is satisfied with change. Many people don't understand that some change is a good thing. You have to be the one willing to make a change because change doesn't just happen. Change takes time to happen so you can't rush change. The pace of change can happen very slow or very fast depending on how bad you want the change to happen. You have to be patient in order to have change. Good things can happen to you if you wait so that will probably be your best bet. When you rush into things they may not turn out to be as good as you thought it was. Many people also don't realize that not all change is good and some change is good. You have to be the person to make the change positive.

  8. - What this quote is stating is that chanqe takes time to come into place ; some people are very impatient when they are waitinq for somethinq to chanqe . I think when people are rushinq for thinqs to chanqe then it's going to take longer for it to happen because it don't just happen over night . You'll probably have to wait months or years for a chanqe to occur . The chanqe can be for better of for worse it depends . In some cases chanqe is not easy because sometimes it can be positive or neqative . However the chanqe will most-definitely affect you in the lonq run . Just know chanqe comes with patience.!

  9. This quote is definitely two sided. Change can be to slow for some,and to fast for others. People tend to think that change comes when they want it to, when in reality change only comes when the man upstairs thinks you are ready. I think that change always comes the right date, time, and place. Some people are afraid of change,and try to avoid it. You can't stop or speed up change. It can almost be compared to fate. It's bound to happen. In the end change affects your life in either a negative or positive way depending on your reactions to change.

  10. This quote to me means that some people dont like new changes.Or they find it hard to adapt too new changes.Like most of the elder people find it hard to make changes. Or it could also be the other way around. Sometimes changes are nescassary . So thats what the quote means to me

  11. I think he is saying that if change takes long then people don't want it. If change doesn't come fast enough then you get antcy so people aren't happy with the pace of change. On the other hand some people may feel different. Some people are very patient. All people don't feel that change is slow. I don't feel that change is slow. I feel that change happen instantly!

  12. To me, I think this quote means, it takes time for changes to happen. Change does not just happen overnight. Changes take time, and some people just fail to realize it. Maybe it is for a good reason to wait on a change, you never know. But as far as I am concerned, since change doesn't happen overnight, obviously it is for a good cause, for the life ahead of you. Also, to me, I see change as a test, you may have your ups and downs, but nothing lasts forever. In conclusion, this is what this quote means to me.

  13. This quote means to me you can't rush change. It takes time for things to be different or how you want them to be. I think things are best when time is taken out. If you were to rush things then it wouldnt come out how you would expect it to. In a way change can be a good thing or a bad thing. Change is a period of time. So dont rush into things because waiting at times can be the best decision.

  14. People are waiting for their chance at change but they aren't getting that chance so they end up becoming impatient and change theirselves. Change always deals with the process of the past, present, and future. Everyone wants to change something in their life to make it more better and that is where "forget the past and continue the future" comes in. If you want change to come you have to be patient and wait for that time to come, God hasn't let us down. If people would open their eyes and notice the incidents they encounter then they would obviously know something is going to change. Every once in a while some hard times will come to you and you have to face them in order to prepare yourself for the next. Everyone goes through a change and they don't even notice that it is right in the palm of their hand.

  16. In my personal opinion this quote has one meaning. It's saying those people who wait on change eventually is going to get fed up. Like in a relationship if someone says I am going to change a million times they are ready for change. They don't here what you say they want to see it. That goes for everyone everyone has something that has happened to them when they eventually got fed up. I know i have plenty of times. That's why people should just man up and do what they got to do to change. Then we all would be happy right?

  17. What does this qoute mean? I think this quote is saying that people aren't changing themselves, they're waiting for change to happen for them. Only God can change thngs and He's the only one who knows the exact time and place and when you're ready for the change. Before you THINK change should come, take a look at yourself and ask are you ready. Don't rush the change, it will come when you can handle it.

  18. This quote means to me that change is something people want really bad and will do anything to get it. As humans we some we want and go for it especially if it's changing who we are into who we desire to be. What we want is not things we may get right now it takes time. Change with alot of things you may think you ready for. Be happy with yourself. Don't take what you already have for granted because you can end up loosing everything.BE patient and everythinge else will follow if it's meant to those who wait will be blessed in the end :] !

  19. What this qoute means to me is that some people try their hardest get what they want or where they want to be and do as quickly as possible. When in reality it is best if we just wait and life take its course. Everything that lives changes, babies to adults , seeds to plants , and many more things that make up our world. What im really saying is that in this day and age my generation is constantly changing and of this change comes things both positive and negative. The key is to know what to change , when to change it , and how will the change benefit you. All change isn't and all isn't bad , but just choose carefully what your going to change and be prepared to handle the consequences whether good or bad. :)

  20. I believe this quote is saying that people are too anxious for things to change and they begin to rush them. But they do this without realizing that with change comes time and effort. Things do not and will not change overnight, so you will have to wait and learn patience because without it you will just become stressed and worried from waiting for it to happen. Many people are impatient with change because they haven’t learned what others have learned through experience that things are not always handed to you and you have to wait and most importantly put forth some effort. Most people think that when they learn to have patience that then change will happen but they are missing one key aspect that comes along with change which is putting forth some effort. We are all naturally worried about how to get the old to the new, but we don’t want to put forth any effort if by doing this comes a lesson that takes time to learn or risking failure that you will learn from. Most people don’t want to take the time out to learn this lesson because most people don’t want to fail. Because when people fail they think it’s all over and nothing good can come out of it because it will cause them to lose all hope, but they will have to learn that when one door closes another one opens. Also most people do not want to fail because they don’t want to lower their self but they have to fail in order to realize/learn the life lesson that is patience .Because with failure comes success. When you fail it won’t last forever, because its only temporary even though it might seem like forever it’s not , it just a lesson in life that you have to learn, that will make you become a better person . Because even if you fail it won’t lower you as a person if anything it will take you to higher extends than you’ve ever been , because you have learned a valuable life lesson that has allowed you to gain more knowledge causing you to change for the better without you even knowing it . It will also make you more successful because it will teach you that if you want something you have to strive for it and most importantly be patient and wait for it. Because it might feel like change takes forever but in all actuality it’s always on time. So with that being I believe that we should all sit back and wait for something to change because remember good things come to those who wait , and it cannot just happen overnight, but if we feel as if we want something to change faster then we have to put forth some effort and help it change in order for us to become better as a society and a whole.

  22. People are impatient with the pace of change for their own reasons. Majority humans like things done when they want them to be done. Therefore, when things doesn't happen at the pact they want they become very impatient. Change is a very important part of life, whether it's a good change or bad change. My personal opinion, change always have a positive outcome. Never be impatient about change because it's going to turn out for the best.

  23. With time comes patience . No good deed or anything worth waitng for comes overnight and if it does it is not genuine. Patience is extremely challenging to commit too , but if and when we do we will be rewarded . Change is an event that takes deep thought. You can't rush change. Anything worth striving for takes maturing to change and great dedication to work. By anything I mean success , which only comes with patience and will ! Let time and fate have its way , never rush your own destiny...

  24. This quote is saying change takes time. It may not always come when you it to. Change is a process. It takes many steps. Sometimes people are impatient because they don't want to go through such a long process. Change can be difficult, but you have to go through it. Change is a part of life.

  25. To me, I feel that you have to be patient when it comes to change. Change takes time. Change can't be done with a snap of a finger. Honestly if you want to change that pace of change and make it faster, why don't you do everything in your might to change it. But if not, I don't think that you should speed it up. When you want change, you should want it to be a good change. But that can't happen if you try to rush into it. Change is sometimes hard to wait for. Especially if you are in a bad situation. But you are just going to have to wait.

  26. This quote is saying people get impatient when it comes to change. Some want it to happen slowly. Some want it to happen too fast. They want to go at their pace and not the pace they need to go. Some people embrace change. Other people keep it from happening. Whether the change is bad or good, it will happen. Even in the darkest hour, there will be a light shinning so welcome the pace of change that is given to you.

  27. This quote means change can be difficult to handle. You might change everyday but not into what you want to change into. Change has a mind of its own. People have hard times adjusting to change. Change is nothing that happens overnight it takes time and patients. You shouldn't be and a rush to change because God created you for a purpose.So don't be in a rush to change because after a while it all seem the same.

  28. Many are not ready for change and some rush change. Change can be good or bad , but everything happens for a reason. You have to learn how to be patient with change. Let life take its natural course. You cant stop rewind or fast forward life. Everything is constantly changing we must learn to be thankful that we're here to even witness change. Change starts within you so make every change positive.

  30. This quote is saying that alot of people are eager for change and the future. Everyone is so ready for change that they get upset because they don't like the
    way things are now. There are even some who are afraid of change because they don't know what it may bring. Change might not always be for the better. I don't think change should be rushed. Instead we should be making changes as they are needed. Yes, change can be a good thing if it benefits everyone and if it's for the right reasons. -Dana Hudson. Period 1

  31. This quote means that people are in a rush of a change to happen. A change may take a long period of time. Changes can be good or bad. People might be in a desperate need of a change and want it at there own pace. Always be patient on changes because something bad can happen if you're impatient. Any change will come at the right time. God knows when a change should occur.

  33. I see this quote as being pretty easy and simple to understand. People may always be eager and ready for change. Some may want a change for the good, but also the bad. Some may be rushing any type of change and don't realize they need to slow it down. So this quote is just stating that many may not be able to wait. They may be so ready for change that they don't realize this change may not be the best. Or maybe they need more time to make this change into a perfection and not a repitition. A change can me made in the right or wrong way and the right ot wrong time, so to rush it gives you a rushed result.

  34. This quote means to me that many people want a difference in their life, but are not ready for the wait. Change doesn't happen over night and many people don'trealize that. People give up on their dreams in the process of change. They begin to worry and put themselves in doubt. Their bad might be too much for their lives. They have to understand that you have to have bad to get the good. They get frustrated and start to think a change will never come. Good things come to those who wait!

  35. Change can be good, but it can also be bad. It can be good because it can help you with certain things in your life. It can be bad because it can ruin your life. For example, you can have a change in grades. If your grades go higher, so does your GPA. Meaning that you can play sports without worrying about being kicked off the team. But if you grades start to get low, then you have to worry about getting kicked off the team. So if you do what's right, the changes in your life can be the best changes.

  36. This quote means that change doesn't always happen right away. Sometimes you have to wait because it takes time. For example, If one day you say I want to get straight A's. When you have F's. Don't expect for it to happen overnight or the next day. You'll have to start with the little things first. However, some may get frustrated during the process and give up because, they're in a rush to do something that takes time. sometimes the reason they're impatient is because they're doing something they should have done a while ago and they waited to the last minute.

  37. This quote is very can be fatal to a weak mind. It's saying that change can be a very big stuggle to anybody really. Changing something/anything can be very hard (especially if your the one doing it). Patience is a virtue that most people can't handle. Ofcourse it takes time,but most serious changes won't happen overnight. This quote reminds me of the famous saying "Rome was'nt built in a day".

  38. I believe this quote means that people are afraid of change. So many people are stuck in their old ways. They like the way they are and they are not willing to change for anyone. When people are presented with a change that they have no control over it's a problem. They do not know how to respond because they have never delt with it before. They tend to give up before they know the out come of the situation. This is a reason that so many people today have a problem in their lives because they do not know how to handle change. -Sarah Boyd -Period 1

  41. I think this quote is saying tht people are to impatient to wait for change. Change comes with time. But people don't like to wait to see if change will really come. It takes time for things to change. The more impatient you are about change the longer it will take for change to come. Having patients will get you a long way.

  42. This quote to me means simply let natures take its course. When you rush something it will always end up the opposite of what you wanted. Like say for instants you having a pimple when you burst it it comes right back. But when you let it take its course it doesn't come back. I just think the state of being impatience affects a person more so than forgiveness. You must wait to receive one of the best kinds of gifts. Like heaven it just doesn't come when we send for it , we just know in a matter of time we'll be at peace.

  43. i think this quote means that you must be ready for change in your life no matter what the subject is ! you should willingly want your life to change for the better even if the change is big or small. you should not get impatient because a person with that kind of character is a person who will be stuck in the past with there unchanged ways !
