An Underestimated Virtue


What do you think of patience? If you are one of the few who can give whatever is going on in your life all the time it needs to develop properly - no matter how long it takes - you are a lucky person indeed. Most people wish they could achieve success overnight, obtain what they desire in a short time. Unfortunately, things don’t usually go this way, and the result is disappointment, frustration, sometimes even depression.
A well-known joke tells of a man who was praying, saying, “Dear God, please…please, give me patience. But I WANT IT NOW!!!”
Does it ring a bell?
“No great thing is created suddenly. There must be time. Give your best and always be kind.” (Epictetus, Greek philosopher)
