If I have any short coming it has to be my lack of patience. (Yes I am mostly perfect otherwise)
Patience. is not my virtue. If I start something today, it has to be done today, whether it’s reading a new book, or taking a course, a new project or weight loss. I want to see the results now. I am trying to change this.
Of course it would take some time to learn this new trait called patience. Waiting… How does one wait gracefully? I am starting to learn this just now. For all the people, I drove insane with my constant nagging from frustration due to lack of tolerance. SORRY!
So here is to everything I learned about Patience. recently. (Note: It’s in no particular order, and therefore might not make sense. If this frustrates you, have some patience to read through my chaotic notes)
Webster’s Definition of patience:
patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.
Lesson Learned: Next time I exhibit these traits (personalities) i.e. annoyance, upset-ness or any non-calm natures, remind me about patience.
“patience and Mulberry leaf become a silk gown” – Chinese Proverb.
Lesson Learned: It takes time and energy to complete tasks.
Lesson Learned: You have to wait for your prayers to be answered. (According to Hinduism, sometimes you will have to wait for life times.)
I read this some where but can’t remember where….
“Suicide is nothing but lack of patience. If only the person who committed suicide waited a bit longer to calm himself/herself down. If only they waited, their situation could get better”
Lesson Learned: Impatience (lack of patience) could kill!
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patience attention, than to any other talent. – Issac Newton
Lesson Learned: To achieve greatness one needs to have patience.
So here is the summary of what I learned so far
1. Next time I exhibit these traits (personalities) i.e. annoyance, upset-ness or any non-calm natures, remind me about Patience
2. You have to wait for your prayers to be answered. (According to Hinduism, sometimes you will have to wait for life times.)
3. Impatience (lack of patience) could kill!
4. To achieve greatness one needs to have patience
I still haven’t learned how to gain patience yet.
I can’t pray for it. If I pray for it, it might be answered in another life time or I would be given the opportunity to learn patience in this life time only. This just means that God will give me opportunities that would require me to wait and require being tolerant.
I can’t practice it. In order to learn patience, I have to be patient in the mean time to achieve it. Well, I kind of want it now.
Since impatience leads to lack of calmness, the reverse technique might work. That is calmness leads to patience. May be I need to do some Yoga to calm myself down. But I have no patience to yoga, its boring.
What else can I do to learn patience? This is frustrating and annoying. I am exhibiting the traits of impatience! I just need to be patient until I learn some successful patience techniques.

Patience....this is something lacked too....Frustrations ,anger(infact extreme temper) were all my inhibitions. But I realised patience can do wonders.
What happend if ur stuck in traffic jam...why get frustrated...becoz thats not gonna get u out....then watta do....I got an idea of singing songs, recollecting wat we read (if student), pre-planning wats to be done when we get back home....
Why get angry on somebody or on some action performed.....
Just take a long breath and get a smile on ur face ....u will really feel relieved.
This is what is thought in Yoga too. The Breathing exercise and how to balance ur body and emotions.
Only when man can control his emotions and be patient he can see wonders happening.
My brother has a MBA degree from UK but its been 2.5 yrs since he got job. He was an excellent team player in his Coll days and a student leader too....Not having job for such long time wud have taken his self confidence but he waited....had PATIENCE. Now he got a H1B visa to US.
Its always said Don lose ur hopes when u dont get this opportunity becoz GOD is waiting to give u the BEST one. The opportunities u get in between are learnings and experiences.
I am almost on path of having Patience which can make me Better than Best.
Lets not forget :
Patience can melt the Rocks.
Humm,
I have not tried distracting myself! Do something else while you are waiting, that sounds like a good idea!
