A famous proverb says that sweet are the fruits of patience which to some extent is true considering the modern life which is geared towards ever greater speed and spirit to achieve within a small span of life in order to save time and to improve efficiency of system. We live in an impatient age trying to make everything and everyone to move according to pace dictated by us and in the process we develop stress which weakens our immune system, irritate our stomach, raises our blood pressure, and strains the heart which in turn spoils the relationship with other persons as human being.
Under the circumstances, we cannot accomplish through will power but what we need is a bit of WAIT POWER i.e. patience. Patience is also the glue that holds the family and society together which in essence is diplomacy and civility without which people cannot work together and society cannot function at all. By becoming more patience, one can help to become more effective, less overwhelmed, less worried, thereby improving our NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) of brain power in order to be more loving and lovable. One should remember that no two stones have equal characteristic and the same applies to two human beings, which are different in nature and nurture. No one does things exactly as you do and therefore how can one expect similar things from other persons as we deem fit and therefore it is more essential to learn the art of patience in today's hectic life.
Remember that you are not sole custodian of interest of others as people have their own ways and whims to understand and solve the problems faced by them. The art of patience can be best learnt from our beloved COMPUTER. Like universe, Computer works in its own speed, rhythm and system. If you give any faulty commands, it will stop to behave properly even if you bang the computer. Similarly, one has to create a power of patience while dealing with any situation in your life. I do not suggest of postponing the problems but to take it easy till system cools down by adopting the power of patience. The history says that great achievements have been accomplished by the people who have learnt the art of patience to achieve their sacred goal in their life. At the end let me conclude by saying that if one cannot develop his way of patience, he will dig his way to become a hospital patient in course of time for the fault created by him.

Some Quotes - Part 1
Some beautiful quotes which I really like...
I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble - John Wayne .
Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence - Pope John Paul II.
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you - Carl Sandburg
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness - The Dalia Lama.
The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for - Allan K. Chalmers.
Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about people - Fran Lebowitz.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do - Eleanor Roosevelt.
Be strong and you will overcome every disappointment and personal tragedy. Persist with confidence that no feeling of pain, frustration or despair can withstand the sustained power of your will to be happy - Author Unknown.

Principles for Success
Set your mind and keep it set for success.
Man follows the mind i.e. where the mind goes the man goes. Success in life is not an accident but it is a matter of chance. Success is not mystery but the result of consistently applying basic principle followed by successful people in their life. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. Success is getting what you want and happiness is what you get. Success and happiness go hand in hand.
Success is a manifestation of good luck that results from Inspiration, Aspiration, Desperation and Perspiration generally in that sequence. The winning age for success is an excellence and not perfection. Striving for excellence is progress and striving for perfection is neurotic. The successful winner in his life is not ten times smarter than his runner up but he excels by one point/one fraction and the reward for the winner is difference between the price of gold and silver.
One should try for excellence to get success and not for perfection.

Alone or Lonely
I live all alone but I never feel lonely.
According to Oxford dictionary, alone describes a state of the person who is apart from others (i.e solitary) but does not necessarily mean that he is unhappy. Lonely, on the other hand, suggests that someone who doesnt want to be alone and therefore is unhappy.
A loner by choice has inner strength who likes to confine himself to acheive better goals in his life. He gets enough time to know himself, his strengths and weaknesses and how to turn his weakness into his strengths. What is basically needed is his positive outlook towards life and people. The more he tries to understand himself, the more he gets nearer to happiness and may be this is the reason why people prefer to go out to a lonely place once in their lifetime.
A man should find a few moments in a day, a few minutes in a week, a few days in a month and a few weeks in a year just to get a deeper understanding of himself.
