Patience:
A Key to Success
Ambition! Passion! Desire! These are
obviously essential qualities when one wishes to be successful in life. But
little do people know, that what truly successful figures possess, is the
quality of patience. Sure a lot of rash people might have a little initiative,
but as they always say, “easy does it”. Patience is essential in walking the
path to success because it lets a person see the bigger picture of certain
situations, encounter better opportunities with it, and finally, changes one’s
temperament to an amiable character.
Every situation can be likened to a
portrait. If one only glances at it and act immediately according to what that
person momentarily saw, most likely, that person will be led astray. When one
rushes to act and does not think carefully, it causes one to miss the things
that truly matter. In other words, they fail to see the ‘bigger picture’. On
the other hand, those who have the patience to analyze the situation and act
accordingly are those who come out victorious and gain the most out of every
situation. In all possibility, they are the successful people who look up to
today. A good example of this would be businessmen or business owners. Rather
than rushing their decisions, they always take the time to look at the whole
situation before finalizing their course of action.
When one stops for a little to
think, and notice the things that other people would normally ignore, there is
a fair chance that you will be able to encounter better situations that can
boost you to the top. These sort of opportunities are presented only to those
who have the patience to assess the situation and act accordingly. For example,
in important projects, if you can patiently watch and listen to every bit of
detail, such as your employer’s habits or tendencies, you can impress the
people you work for, by using said details to your advantage. Furthermore, it
will increase the probability of getting the best case scenario. After all,
Lady Luck favors those who are patient.
Even if one encounters a very good
opportunity, if that person could not tactfully handle the situation, then
everything would have been for naught. In order to prevent such opportunities
from slipping away from one’s grasp, one must possess an amiable character that
would allow him to pull through even the most difficult predicament. This
personality could be developed by simply improving one’s patience. Even if one
has the talent and ability to accomplish his tasks, it would be useless if he
has a terrible and arrogant character. After all, no man is an island. If you
have no friends but many enemies, you will eventually meet your downfall. So
one must possess an amiable character born from a patient personality.
On the journey towards one’s goals,
possessing the virtue of patience is a definite must. Most of those who rush in
without even thinking are the people with the most probability to fall.
Remember that there is no need to be hasty, because haste makes waste. Just
take it slow and assess every situation carefully. Surely, there must be a
golden opportunity hiding behind unnoticeable details. Do not let go of your
amiable character for it will be needed to further your journey towards your
goal in life. Be patient, for being patient is the correct path. Patience is the key to success!
I agree with you, patience is the first step on becoming a successful man for if you don't have patience, you'll likely to be bored about things and never finish it (like me).
