I think power of patience perfects our life.If we take a survey on this we can we can see only 10 percent people with patience.I think we all have lost patience in some situation in our life.We can achieve patience by self control .If we can control our tongue,then we can control our self entirely. The tongue is connected directly to the heart. So by putting a restraint on your mouth you simultaneously stop any impure thoughts from excessively filtering through your heart and mind.If we can love all unconditionally,then we can develop patience.

I am a very patient person. I guess because my personality is very slow paced when I decide on stuff. But once I got to choose then there is no turning back. I am the same way to people. I always give each one who did something wrong to me a second chance. But once the act is repeated then I have this total opposite attitude towards them. I automatically turn my back and put a blind eye even if they keep knocking on my door to ask for forgiveness. I am a believer of democracy, of taking time, of being calm and compassionate but there is a limit. If I explode then a cold war is expected. I just walk out from the person or from the scene.

I have very little patience. I tire of things quickly and won't even bother to do some things. I need answers fast or I skip over the question. I have no patience with myself and it stinks. I've tried different things but they never work so I guess I"ll be impatient for the rest of my life.

Being patient is really important in handling life's pressure. Before, I was so impatient that majority of my decisions led to terrible outcomes. I realize that having this kind of attitude will not only affect me but others as well. Also, every time I made haste decision I became guilty in the end. I know this is bad so I'm now taking steps to improve my patience.

Patience is a virtue I am working on. Unfortunately I am too arrogant and hence find that I easily get impatient with others. Patience shows a high level of personal character as I feel you need to have many good qualities such as compassion and being humble in order to be patient.
