What's wrong with waiting?

I truly believe two minutes noodles deserves to be in the Guinness Book of Records. It’s truly so simple, yet turns out delicious in two minutes with one versatile ingredient: hot water.

You see, the problem is that people stop short before it becomes interesting. They eat it straight out of the cup after two minutes. If they are feral, the whole thing would be devoured one second after opening the lid and without the hot water.

I used to be the same.

Where things get interesting is taking that extra twenty minutes to make a complete meal. Drain the water, throw half an onion into a pan over medium heat, add oil, and of course, chuck in some simple veggies (a frozen pea and corn combo). That goes in too. Lastly, drop those slippery noodles in and give it a twirl.

Feeling fancy tonight? Crack a fried egg on top.

Now it’s rich in protein, carbs, and veggies. Not hard, just longer.

That mindset translates into life, and the heavier decisions that come with it. There’s a balancing act between taking action and waiting.

Taking action impulsively and being driven by emotion can shove you down a path with hidden costs that could have been noticed beforehand.

So, waiting longer means the opportunity has potentially passed by. Technically, yes. But we are living in a world of abundance, and there are more opportunities that are loads better or worse.

But what you do have is time to think about it, emotions that have worn off, and your cash still in your hot hands.

So, it’s worth taking that extra twenty minutes to make a better two minute noodle meal.
