Do you have patience?

October 14, 2010 1:47pm CST
If there would be something you would really want, or just a something, no matter what you would need patence to get, would you wait for it or try to get it sooner by any way? Personally I have good patience, I can wait for something I really want even years, what about you?

If I think I can get things sooner, I will try. What if the things you would have to do to get it sooner are not all that bad. I want extra money. I can save and wait, or I can do some over time and get more money much faster. Fair deal. On the other hand, there are many things worth waiting for. It is very context sensitive.

If you had to wait some years, would you?

what would the alternative be? I could wait for years for a lot of things. As a matter of a fact, I have. It seems like when you have to wait that long for something, you just mark it on the calendar and forget about it. Like I said, it is very context sensitive, meaning, it depends on what i am waiting for and what my other options are. I would not wait years for something I can easily get sooner. I will not wait years until one of my roommates gets fed up with the dishes and does them, just so I don't have tyo do them because it is far easier and faster to get up and do it myself. Do you know what I mean?

Hello Demondulator, Some months I have really good patience but other times like now I do have good patience. My day job my boss just up quit on Tuesday no notice to President or any coworkers. WE are scrambling here to make sure orders are done and machines are built. My second job I am in transition I got promoted to upstairs in the our local newspaper company in the plate room and I being trianed for last month and I start date officially is Nov. 1, 2010 which is two weeks away. My youngest daughter a freshman is colleg is homesick and not doing well in her classes... she is doing everything right and has tutors etc.. but still struggling and her roommate is getting good grades. My odlest daughter is have car problems again. She took it in Monday to major repair work done and they did it but it will not start now! Figure that one out and she works on the weekends near her college 9:00pm at night to 5:00am in the morning so I am wondering if she will need me to get her to work. She lives 1 hour away and her job is 10 minutes away from her appartment by car. So pateince is not there right now for me. Nervousness bigtime and worried big time... only time will tell if get may aptience back. Thanks and have a great day Sincerley Unique16

I think that it's good to have patience. I do feel that I have patience. I can wait for something if it's something that I really want. I can wait for a lot of things.

Exactly my thoughts. If I need something, sure I'll wait, no matter how long it takes.

it really depends actually. it all depends if its right to go for it right now or later, but then again, human as we are we really always know whats truly right or wrong. anyway, it really does depend, but for me, im more compelled to getting things asap as long as theres a way, but there are things that i am patient about =)
