"Sometimes waiting for someone to show up or for a situation to develop becomes a waste of time, rather than an exercise in diligence. It's such a fine line to walk. Knowing when to cut bait and when to hang on. What if the promise materializes the moment after you've walked away? Conversely, what if you're left checking your watch and tapping your foot only to realize there's suddenly egg on your face?"
"The timing of these decisions are completely individual and can be made only on a case-by-case basis. We do have tendencies, though. For example, I know that I'm stubbornly loyal. To a fault, or so my friends and family would argue. Whether it's a byproduct of not wanting to be proven wrong or remaining eternally hopeful -- or both? -- I'm not sure."
Waiting for someone or a situation to develop can become wasted time rather than diligence. Decision timing is individual and must be judged on a case-by-case basis. A tendency toward stubborn loyalty can lead to excessive waiting, illustrated by a 70-minute Olive Garden experience that ended in embarrassment and a realization to stop thumb-twiddling. For struggling fantasy football managers with poor records, the practical action is to shake things up because the current approach isn't working. Small shifts can prevent continued loss of time and preserve dignity and resources.
