It doesn't mean sit there and do nothing

Some people get the wrong impression about the meaning behind the phrase "Good things come to those who wait." It doesn't mean sit there and do nothing just wait till it falls in your lap. It means do all the hard work that is necessary then be patient and you will reap the benefit for what you have done. It takes effort on your part to be where you need to be at just the right time. Some people ask how things happen. Some people ask why things happen and some people make things happen. Which one are you?
