Patience is the capacity to endure hardship, difficulty or convenience without complaining.
Patience emphasizes calmness, self-control and the readiness to tolerate delay.
It is a virtue that must be imbibed by those who desire to succeed.
It takes accumulated efforts persistently continued in the direction of an objective to bring about a desired result.
Henry David Thoreau once asked, Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an objective and in no measure obtained it?
When we see how much can be accomplished in any given area or direction by an individual of average ability who resolutely persists in a course of action in order to achieve his dream, we then appreciate the value of persistence as a key factor in the success equation.
The ability to stick our set objective, even in the face of the toughest odds, is the prime quality in achievement.
The arrival at your place of destiny is not by sudden flight, but careful steps, which are sometimes halted by one obstacle or the other.
Patience is the ability to hold on to what you believe in spite of pressure to give up.
Some people give up at the slightest sign of trouble and thats the reason for their failure.
Never be in haste to climb the ladder of success.
You may fall down in your haste, and such falls can be fatal!
