Solution

It was the famous philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau who said that  "Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet"

Since childhood, I was taught by my parents never to envy people or their things. That stayed with me till now but I clearly remembered one instance when I flipped out about one thing that I had really wanted.
So, there were these particular sneakers that I really wanted but had no money to get it by myself. And the cost wasn't that cheap so if I was to get it on my own, it may even have to take me almost a year to buy it. I knew I can't ask my family for we are a big family and personal unnecessary needs aren't something that we can get access to often. I decided to save up money little by little. I want the experience of acquiring my very own first new shoes to be by my own self and so, patiently waiting for the amount, I managed to get it done after 6/7 months. The day I went to the shop to buy it was one of the happiest I had ever been to. Added to it was the pride and joy I saw in my parents' face, for I didn't tell them about it. They were impressed that I had done it by myself. That day will always be etched in my memory as the best moments of life. Not only did I get my desired sneakers, but I also made my parents proud of me. I also learned to be independent and got the mind to save up. It also taught me the value of anything attained after some hard work, patience, and persistence.

There may be times when you feel the urge to get things done at that moment, but if it isn't meant to be, don't force it. There will always be other chances. Also, the time you achieve that same thing, even after a long time, will definitely is sweet. There is no easy way for anything but with the right attitude and patiently waiting, things will always work out for the best.
