The Power of Patience

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.
