Are you a patient person at heart? Or, do certain things get up your nose?

Hi there! I believe in the saying that patience is a virtue because being patient can save you from sinning. If you're a patient person you have the ability to control your anger and therefore can't make revenge to the person doing bad things to you. I think it also has something to do with religion. Having a lot of patience in waiting for our prayers to be answered also means having faith in God. It is hard to wait for something that we don't know if its going to manifest or not. I am a generally a patient person. I don't rush for things to happen.I believe there is a right time for everything and I take every step that has to be done in order to reach my goal. I also don't easily get mad. Maybe that's why in my whole life I've never had any confrontations with anybody. I never had any enemies in my dealings with other people. Though I may have debated with someone but, it's just an exchange of views. Ciao!

Thank you for the tip, Andrew, really appreciate it. I am taking one thing at a time though but because of the trend of the times now, that everything is so high tech, then, there are times that i want to get things done as fast as i can. But i do know that there is the right time for everything in life. I hope to find the bliss of calm and tranquility of life. Wish you the same, my friend!

Well, for me, it truly depends on the situation, and what is going on in my life as well. I know a lot of times, when I am under any undue stress, or major Financial things going on in my life, or maybe other Health issues as well, I can be quite impatient sometimes, but for the most part I find myself easy going, and find most people enjoy being around and talking to me as well.

hi Anrew,i dont have have patinece too and thats my big problem.wish i could advice but i also needs advice hehehe.

I think i'm quite a patient person, at work there's a lot of people who either can't or don't want to understand what is being said to them and then there are others who are just plain awkward, i always manage to keep my cool with them. Sometime i have to take a deep breath and feel like going into the stre cupboard and screaming but i tend to control myself! I lose my temper when i am driving quite a lot though! I have been in a couple of nasty car accidents and both have been caused my people who were driving dangerously, so i get really mad when people don't drive sensibly - as well as when people drive at 15mph in a 30 or 40 limit - why!?!?!?!? lol xxxx

patience should be a virtue but i dont think alot of people dont use it. I think some people r afraid of it cuz they dont like to wait cuz if they get to old they cant never achieve it. I waited to long on things i wanted and no i cant achieve what ive longed for forever and now i pay for it everyday.

i don't think so... patience is one of the character that i don't have and i always like to rush for things and do things as fast as i can... but nowadays, i try to cut down this bad habit by slowing down a bit, take a deep breathe and try to enjoy my life a little bit... i try to build up my patience day by day which is not easy because of my trait... i can't eliminate my impatienceness... but i can reduce it... take care and have a nice day...

I guess it depends on the situation. If I'm in a long line at the grocery store, well I wait it out with the rest of them. If I'm trying to pick up a script and the workers are all huddled in the back gabbing, I get irritated. If I'm stuck behind a little old woman that is counting out her change one at a time...I just suck it up and deal with it...afterall that may be me one day. If I'm in a drive thru and the person ahead is talking, laughing, and horseplaying with the worker I get ticked off. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

Hello Andrew. I think I'm patient to the point that my laid back attitude give off a negative persona of not really caring. It's strange, I've witnessed it to the extent that I am misunderstood for so many things that being patient is hard to constructively deal with it. However, it seems it's the only way to go because so many are eager to get under your skin and secretly get into you to annoy, it's become a pleasure just to torture. I don't know why. I know that I don't really care and in the end who am I to them that makes me important? It's an attitude I know but it has helped me understand, I am who I am. Love it or leave it as they say. Can you say girl power? LoL jk But as I read somewhere, patience is A virtue not THE virtue. Cheers!

I am generally a very patient person and it takes alot to get me to the breaking point. But somethings that can do that to me are talking to people on the phone like tech support. I have had to call for my cell phone a few times and have it fixed over the phone and man the stupidity of some people! Also rude people at stores get under my skin like when your in the check stand line and it's taking forever as it is but then you got someone behind you breathing down your neck like it's your fault or if they get closer to you then the line will go faster! I think the grocery store or stores in general are a big patience tester! LOL

I can say that i am patient too. Before i used to be less patient but through the years as we age i think we kind of mellow gradually. So, now i can say that i have grown more patient with almost everything. Yes, i believe that patience is a virtue. what tends to make me less patient is when i can't get somethings right. Like, when i am set to do some projects in the house and i can't get it done, then i might be less patient. I don't have a technique in keeping my patience, but i can say that i am a very patient person.

Yes I used to be but now I really find it hard because of the things that has been happening around me. I am patient in making decisions but now I find it hard to be patient when dealing with not so nice situations. Yes patience is a virtue but we have to know when it should end and when should we fight back. Sometimes people would use our patience to their advantage and in the process it is us patient people who will suffer. I am patient but don't test it- That I think is my secret.

i could not say that i am person that is so patient. but i can say that i'm patient mostly. but still there are times that i do get impatient but only happens very rarely. i can wait for things or line up in queu without getting bored or angry. or to put up with irritating people. but there is also i point that i have enough of things or people . but i try my best to understand people and things. sometimes my top will just blow up. and i will try my best not to be get irritated on the same thing. i wanted to be more patient on things that irritated me once.

I am quite patient, but there are some things that irritate me...like stupidity, or people looking down on others, or rudness, or long lines at the cashier in supermarket lol....this I cant figure it out. There are soooooo many different stores,but there are always lines...why is this LOL

Hi Andrew. I am generally a relatively patient person these days but it all is in direct relation of my tolerance levels as well. I always start out as patient but if I start facing more of the same over and over again with something or from someone then my tolerance levels drop considerably and of course my ability to patient disappears pretty quickly. As for patience being a virtue, theoretically speaking I can agree with this statement but as per usual there are always so many factors to take into consideration so it is not always valid!
