"الوقت يمر ببطء شديد على الذين ينتظرون"
— Madonna
Simplified Meaning:
When you're really eager for something to happen, like waiting for your favorite holiday or a special event, it can feel like time is dragging on forever. Imagine sitting in class, excited for the school day to end so you can go play outside. Every minute on the clock feels like an hour because you're so focused on the end of the day. This happens because when we are waiting, we often keep checking the time and thinking about what we are waiting for, making time seem to move more slowly. In contrast, when we’re busy or having fun, we don't notice the time passing, and it can feel like time flies. So, if you're waiting for something, try to keep yourself occupied with other activities. This way, you won't keep checking the clock and time will seem to go faster. It’s a useful trick for making the waiting period feel shorter and less frustrating.
