    Yes. It's called the lottery.

    I think people in the past would have been obsessed with instant gratification too if they knew it was possible. We live in an era of the internet, microwave ovens, cable television and air travel. We expect things to be fast because we have become accustomed to getting things quickly. We aren't used to having to wait and most of us have never had to learn patience. We want things to be fast because we know that it is possible, so when things do not come quickly, we consider them to be inefficient.

    I don't think there is. When such an "instant success" DOES seem to happen, it never lasts too long.

    And I do think people are. People are too lazy these days to try hard for something long term.

    People, esply the new generation is obssessed with

    instant success & gratification .

    Thanks to the film stars & cricket super stars .

    But there is no such thing as ''instant'' success

    there is a lot of grime, tears & hardwork done in the background.

    as they say : "samay se pehelay aur kismet se jyadah

    kisi ko nahin milta hai ....''

    "Instant Success" is not so hard.

    I don't think so.

    Because, they know "Instant Success" is too fragile.

    That mean "Instant".
