 I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the   31   on one of the wine bottles.

  “Dad, Dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”

  “Dear, hold on.” Dad said.

  “You can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was   32   10 years ago.”

  “wait, let me tell you…”

  “Would you like me to   33   it away for you?” I asked.

  “Dear, wait a second,” he said.“Some wines get better   34   time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is  35  .”

  When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this   36  , but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I   37   through my teenage years.

  In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you wait for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as   38   as possible; we want to graduate from college in as a few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of forget   39   .

  We all want to get to the next   40   so quickly that perhaps we don’t get   41   enough to get there. This has a   42   effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we   43   not study enough for the best, and   44   failing. We need to be ready for   45   comes, ready for the unexpected.

  Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
