“Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.”
Meaning: Reported in a 1908 biography of the inventor, the line argues that waiting is no excuse for idleness. While you wait for a reply, a loan or a break, use the gap: practice a skill, tidy a draft, or prepare the next step so you are ready when the moment arrives.
