I am a very patient person, but when I take the serious I can not contain. "Patience has a limit!" Not what they say? I think everybody has this limit, but would go mad.

I am always hoping to reach a certain level of patience, but I am still far away from my target. Correct me if am wrong, but I am so patient in what God is planning in my life that when He showed me a path for my life where I can earn and help others, I waited and have mustered enough patience to see that thing given to me. Though I act and persevere, still our lives haven't reached half of what He showed me. I am not making enough but still He satisfies our need. That gives me enough attitude to wait.

Yes, patience or perseverance is a great virtue. No doubt, religious scriptures say that. And rightly so. With patience we can achieve great many things in life, starting with love affair. If you are in love, you must have patience to win her heart. Then again, why is a person called 'patient' in a hospital ? Because healing takes time, you must be patient !! Lots of love and good wishes.

Patience is a luxury. A luxury which sometimes I feel I couldn't afford. Maybe when I was younger I had lots of patience, but now I just sometimes feel that I don't have enough of. Maybe this relates to getting older and having some expectations in life, that when I, or others falter I easily get ticked off.

Patience as they said is a virtue. For me, there is a right way of being patient and a wrong way of being patient. Let's take for example a situation that sometimes we have and someone is doing something that we dont like but we say that we are just being patient to them by just letting them do bad things to you but not really tell the person about how the things that they do make you feel. The right way of being patient is when you talk to that person and tell him or her about your true feelings towards what he or she is doing.

Patience is a big key for happiness. We all know that we cannot wave everything that we want in our lives. Its about you willing to wait for that right moment or the right time to do or make something. Patience will always be a key for success in life. Patience will always lead you to right decisions in life. And patience will always be a friend for your heart.

I do believe that i'm patient.. haha =D At least much more patient than others, for i can afford to wait around doing nothing.. It seems that i'm borned to wait, and luckily not wait on others.. lol =D It takes some kind of training in order to gain some patience.. DUring which, someone will be hurt in that training period, and human nature, we simply dun wanna wait around for nothing!! haha With the time wasted on waiting, one can actually be doing alot of things, which will kill time faster.. So, actually shopping or having coffee is a kind of waiting, and in turns, adds up to our patience ^_^ hehe

For me patience is a test for endurance which always answers the question 'how long' such as... "How long can you wait until all the things you had planned could happen?"; or "How long can you stand the attitude of certain person?" I guess from 0 to 100%, I have 50%. Everybody must have this kind of attitude in order to succeed in life.

For me patience means keeping cool in time of trouble and not bang my head against a wall and shout.

For me attitude can have a lot of meanings in our lives. Attitude is one important part of ones personality. It can either make or break you. If you have the right attitude towards your goals and wants in life then you have the better chance to be successful in life. But then if you have the wrong kind of attitude towards every thing and keeps it that way. Then there will be a smaller chance for success. Having the right attitude can also give you happiness and help you be more relaxed and comfortable. The right attitude will be a big part of yourself so always have the right attitude on every thing that comes your way.
