This virtue comes hard... I myself as person have very less patience and often I have been in a situation where I have regrets of not keeping enough patience... However, there were few occasions where I thought reverse would have benefited me more.. You can find many learned men supporting the former than later.. but in real life I bet you will get so many examples of both to contradict them...
A classic example of describing a former phenomenon is a comrade jumping out of an airplane and waiting patiently till the precise altitude to pop open his parachute to land safely to reach the exact destination.. I can site example of 2 friends who bought car around the same time.. one was eager to get a new one and purchased right away and other was calm and calculative.. waited for right time and bought a better car at the same price... so you can easily conclude Patience pays...for itself.. I have been in situations where I regret my behavior for not being patient enough to handle a talkative colleague, a frustrated friend, and list goes on. Had I been able to keep my patience just for few more minutes, I wouldn't have fought with ex-colleague at office or my glass vase could still be intact and my motorcycle without a dent..!! But is this always true..??
Think about a relationship in which you waited patiently (who said 6 years =P) and the girl went to other guy as you never asked her out waiting "patiently"- don't you feel like killing yourself. Precisely. Some will contradict that if she din't she was not meant for you..True.. but don't you think some of these life changing decisions are guided by our social obligations and other factors too.. Dozen of examples are spur up in my mind... Me missing an airline deal just because I had lot of patience (I guess the patience owes me 100 bucks now...), a single friend of mine having more patience than his roomy who is with the girl of his dream (patience owes him a girl friend =P ), and the list goes on ......
The aftermath of analyzing if patience was good or not is up to us. To me it has a psychological aspect associated with it.. if patience served him good he is inclined to think it is good and vice-versa.. Isn't that true always... You can always relate it to good or bad depending on what you want to.. as there are infinite P&C (permutation and combinations) which will make an individual feel as he wants to..!!
To end it.. let us just say.. we are the best judge when it comes to deciding how much patience is precisely needed for something...!! If the result turns out to be good you will thank all the wise men for their brilliant philosophical teaching and if it turns otherwise remember there is always a silver lining in the dark cloud..!!
If you are patient enough to reach till this statement.. you are Kunal certified patient reader.. too much to ask for such a piece of literary crap..!! Keep patience this might pay you some day (a silver lining.. =)) !!!
