Patience is the Name of the Game

How do we define patience? It is a state of mind where we keep aside anxiety and curiosity and wait for something expected to happen with a cool mind. Patience is a super power of the human mind. Patience is a medicine of countering mental blockades like anger and excitement.

Patience makes a person wise and thoughtful. It gives better results. Patience is the Mantra to win wars. It was Hitler’s impatience to conquer Russia which went against him. Patience makes an enemy restless and impatient because he fails to read the opponent’s strategies.

A patient player always wins the game. Patience is actually the test of the mind. It is keeping one’s cool and perseverance during abnormal or difficult situations. However, it depends upon the expected result of an action. If an action will provide a positive result then one should not be patient. It also does not implicate that the person has to be impatient to perform the act. It rather means to act as and when the person is ready. Being ready means properly prepared for the act. And impatient act would probably not yield the expected result. Being impulsive is the opposite of being patient when it’s a scenario of physical action. To keep patience in everything does not mean that one does not eat bread and butter when one is hungry and rather wait for better food to arrive. Patience should not be shown when a house is on fire and one waits for the fire fighters to come.

Patience is a virtue which is individualistic in nature. Some might have more patience in doing something than others. Psychological gurus have said that people with more patience than others, live longer. Patience also increases the tolerance in a human being. Like other virtues, patience also has a limit. Being patient does not always serves the purpose but it does help you groom yourself to maturity..
