Patience is learned. We can teach outselves. Sometimes it will save you some grief if you learn to wait something out. Your relationships can go better when you have patience and your partner can add to the positive experience if they have patience also. Again it can be learned and surprisingly it has its rewards!

Patience is Virtue. Being petient for me has always paid off. However you are right about patience needing to be learned and for some i guess it is harder to learn. This is why i personally feel fortunate that i am patient person! Patience is a Virtue and as long as you be patient or at least attempt too learn patience i promise it will always pay off in the end!

I once watched a play (theatre) , in the last scene a voice tells the hero "patience is life " and i guess it was the moral of the whole thing .
I couldn't understand how a human concept (enduring hardship?) could be applied to all of creation (of which humans are but a small part) .
More recently ,after having some hardships of my own and putting my own patience to the test , I remembered that play and those words and felt like I could see meaning in them .
It's difficult for me to explain it ,I will come back later and try .

I try to be. I believe it is better to control my temper so that I will not react negatively or say something I will regret in the heat of the moment. Having experienced screaming at people and then crying for the next 3 days because I felt so bad is a good lesson for me to not lose my patience.

I sadly am not patient. And I agree with you, it is better to be patient than impatient. It is better for your health and the people around you if you are patient.

I wish that I was a patience person. Sorry to say I'm not. I just can't stand waiting for anything. My husband tells me to settle down and it will happen sooner or later. I crab about it all the time. LOL

I firmly believe that patience is a virtue, and I am a patient person.
I believe in the old adage of "More haste less speed". People make mistakes when they rush. and they fail to think through the consequences. Also nothing worthwhile happens immediately. You have to patiently see it through.

Patience is for me one of the best gifts in my life.
I can be so much patience while others wonder how I can be so much patience. I know what are the best things in life so I always try to be with these. Anyway I don't want to lose nothing from my life so to do that I'm patience person. Also I want for my life to be plentiful, without patience that's impossible.

I think it is a great quality to be patient. I do try to be patient, but it is often difficult for me.

Patience is definitely a virtue in my book. Showing patience is not often easy for many, yet it can make the difference to someone else's life if you can be patient. I like to think I'm a patient person... now hurry up and answer me back! LOL Just kidding!

I believe I am patient to a degree, If I know someone is supose to be on time, or if I have to wait long amounts of time, I get impatient.
If someone is trying to explain something to me, but beats around the bush, I start to get impatient..
I am pretty open minded, however, when things don't go as planned, I tend to be more impatient...and fussy...

I try to have patience but it doesn't always seem to work out that way, lol. If I am doing a job, then I am always very impatient to get it done.
