PATIENCE!! Something i have not quite figured out as yet.
I still remember my favorite Aunt!! or should i say my dad's favorite sister ranting at me ages ago in gujarati ' aa chokra ne patience nathi . aagad kevite vadhis'. (This boy has no patience. How will you make any progress in life without it).
I have tried mastering this beast called patience over the last many years since then. Have i suceeded ? Not quite.
One encounters various situations that call for patience and how we respond is something that defines the future course.
Sometimes i trade stocks at a profit and sometimes at a loss. In hindsight i always have to hear comments like ' If you had patience you would have made more profit ' or ' You rush in to quickly and hence make losses ' . but isnt that always true about life.. I mean you win some you loose some.. What has patience or lack of it have to do anything with the stupid stock markets ??
is'nt it all a gamble anyways
What is wrong in being impatient? Each one of us want to achieve a great many milestones in life and lets face it we do not have our entire life to achieve them. Our generation and the subsequent ones that will follow will not have the liberty to live life at an easy going pace as our parents and granparents had..
So much to do and so little time!!
I try at times to be 'patient' but i guess most of the times it is a futile attempt. Sometimes i do wish i had some patience in dealing with certain situations. it would have saved me a lot of effort and time rectifying errors..
Would i have changed any of those decisions probably not!
So my favorite aunt i guess after all these years is still gonna make the same comments about me and my lack of patience... and i enjoy every bit of the argument that i have with her about how i feel that being Impatient is a bigger virtue than being patient!
Will i ever lear how to be patient.. Only time will tell
It feels like figthing a Bear.. you do not stop when you are tired.. you stop when the bear is...
Cheers!!

Patience is a virtue... because it so rare to find. I am an extremely impatient person but my profession had taught me to be patient. After month long court hearings, i get one headline in the prime time bulletins. After spending 10 long minutes in scorching heat, i get my 90 secs of fame while doing a live. Patience needs to be cultivated.... but its a big big examination.
