Summarize the following:
When the wait becomes unbearable, time can feel like an enemy. However, it is the best resource you have to make the wait worthwhile: manage it wisely and invest it in fruitful activities that can help you reach your goal.   Although we have no control over the passing of time, we can organize it. Sticking to a timetable, making short-term plans and setting deadlines can help you manage your time and turn it into your ally. Not all of your time should be devoted to reaching your goal. Wise time management also calls for taking breaks. If you don’t allow yourself some leisure time, you could become frustrated or drain all your energy for no reason. . Patience is an art that takes skills and practice. It means realizing that time is unpredictable and we don’t get what we want when we want it. , as well as coming to terms with the fact that some things can be changed while others can’t.  Impatience stems from a feeling of impotence, of not being able to change the way things are. Realizing that there are things you can act upon and that the direction that your life takes is first of all determined by your decisions is important to have a more active approach and feel you're still in the driver’s seat. For example, in order to find a job as a journalist you might send out thousands of resumes without much luck. However, focusing on other things you can do to achieve your goal, like writing as a volunteer for your college bulletin or attending workshops, can turn your wait into a time actively invested in useful activities and make it more tolerable. Devoting some time during the week to physical exercise and relaxation techniques can help you release stress and increase your level of patience. Not making progress can have its benefits. It is natural for some periods of time to be devoted to rest instead of activity. Recharging you batteries is necessary to get back in full shape.  Just like how we get what we want can be unpredictable, inactivity does not always happen according to our plans. For example, if you suddenly find yourself unemployed, don’t see this period as a waste of time or feel guilty about it. You can make it useful by pursuing what you really want to do and enjoying the benefits of having more time to yourself. You might think that, if you’re not getting what you want, all is wrong with your life. Thinking of all you have already accomplished will put things into perspective and make you realize your life has gone down unpredictable paths before. What you now take for granted was also achieved through patience and perseverance.  You can keep a gratitude journal where you actively list the things and reasons you should be grateful for. Make sure you always have something to look forward to. Whether it be doing some cleaning or spending a night out with friends, some distraction will make the wait more tolerable. Getting fixated about your goal won’t help you get it: it will take a toll on your energy and health. Keep in mind that, as much as it is important, distraction shouldn’t be obsessive-compulsive. Spending half a day each day mopping the floor in order to forget you don’t have the job of your life will just as well affect your energy and health. Having a positive outlook on life will also boost your patience. Optimism is an extremely good fuel: being energetic and proactive will also help you get what you want faster.  Even in this case, thinking back on your past achievements and appreciating what you already have is a good way to look on the bright side of the wait.

summary: Learn to cooperate with time. Be patient Realize it’s okay to be still sometimes. Be thankful for what you already have. Keep yourself busy. Stay optimistic.

Measure yourself in three places: while wearing shoes or boots, measure the distance from the nape or your neck to the floor; stretch your arms to the side and measure the distance between your finger tips; and measure the circumference of your neck at its base. Bring them with you when you go to the fabric store, and ask someone to help you determine how much fabric you need to purchase.  Allow yourself extra fabric, about 2.5-3 inches on two sides, for hemming. Fabric is usually sold by the yard. You can find patterns for a basic super hero cape online or at a fabric store. If you don't know how to use a sewing machine, there are a variety of cape designs available for different skill levels. Additionally, Darth Vader's cape is different from a standard super hero cape in that it doesn't "swoosh". You want to use heavy fabric to weigh the cape down. For a basic cape design, you will need:  At least 1 yard heavy black fabric (this is to make a child's costume, adults will need more based on height and weight) At least 1 yard additional fabric if you decide to include a lining. Pattern paper All-purpose black thread 2-3 inches of velcro Erasable fabric marking pen or chalk Sewing machine Using chalk or an erasable fabric marking pen, transfer the pattern from the paper onto the fabric. Adjust the pattern to accommodate your measurements (height from nape of neck to floor, and width of outstretched arms). Measure the width at the base of your neck to determine the collar size, adding several extra inches for comfort. When finished, cut-out the fabric.  Repeat this step if you want to add a lining to your cape. Alternatively, you can draw, cut-out, and then sew two semi-circles together. Fold the fabric in half and pin together. Double your neck-to-floor measurement and mark it on the fabric, leaving about 2 inches from the base of the semi-circle to the edge of the material. Use a piece of chalk attached to a string to draw a perfect arch. Cut the material out. In the center, draw and cut-out a smaller semi-circle for your neck. Use a sewing machine to stitch the two halves together. Use a sewing machine to hem the collar and bottom of the cape using a simple double-fold hem. Fold the fabric over about 1/2 inches, and then fold it again another 1/2 inches. Secure with straight pins. Sew the hem about 1/8 inch from the second folded edge. When done, flatten the hem with an iron.  When taking initial measurements for your cape, you want to add several extra inches for a hem. Hemming your cape will make it more durable and prevent the edges from fraying. Secure the collar together by sewing or gluing a 2-3 inch piece of velcro on each side. If your cape is heavy, you might need a slightly larger piece of velcro.
summary: Take a few basic measurements. Select a pattern and purchase supplies. Draw the pattern onto the cape and then cut it out. Hem the collar and bottom of the cape and add velcro.
