Virtue

Patience is a virtue that not many possess. To be able to control your thoughts and remain patient while you couldnt wait much longer is a skill which i try hard to acquire.
Acquiring a certain skill requires much time and devotion to fully master it. Like a sportsman trains daily to achieve optimum performance, patience is smth which there is no training regime for one to follow. Thus, is it safe to say that patience is only had by the best man?
To be impetous in a situation is non necessarily fool-hardy but rushing into a certain situation without much preparation is akin to rushing into battle without any armour and equipment. Defeat is a certainty.
Nevertheless, once a decision is made, it is detrimental for one to follow up with actions to supplement that decision and to achieve the best results as circumstances permit.
A wise man will sit and wait to get a clearer picture, but delay might actually distraught his plans. A brave man who is also wise will chance upon that opportunity and act according to circumstance. Defeat is only a PROBABILITY but so is victory. As the saying goes, "The greater the risk, the greater the rewards."
Alas, i hv tried to be patient. I can be very patient if that virtue lies with me. But alas, i am devoid of it sometimes and i often act without thinking much. I do not lament my situation but i just want to say i did try to be patient alas, failed miserably in trying to suppressing it.
