Patience is the key to success

In the search for peace, patience is the key to success. It’s possible that you’ve heard a saying such as “Patience is the Key to Success,” which is applied regardless of a person’s social, religious, ethnic, gender, or any other characteristic that makes them unique. According to several scientific studies, one of their patients tend to be happy, which may explain why elderly people often have happier lives.

“The ability to wait, or to continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed” is how the Cambridge Dictionary defines patience in situations where anyone would have felt these feelings.

But in high school, teachers stressed that exercising patience meant taking your time. For example, take all the allotted time to thoroughly answer every question to the best of your ability during an exam. Similarly, when moving from one place to another, take your time to avoid disruptive accidents.

Taking the time to think before you act was a constant theme in my high school experiences with patience. This implied that I needed to step back from that specific instance and consider whether or not my actions were appropriate. This helped me manage my anger to some level, but it was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to teaching patience.

At least when I was in high school not so long ago, there was a dearth of proper instruction on patience, despite the abundance of research and academic articles on the subject and its positive effects on one’s mental and physical health. It’s preferable to show than to tell because a child would not be mentally prepared to comprehend the scenario they are in and would probably dislike listening to another lecture.

When I was younger, I used to try to figure out the simplest way to solve problems, whether they were in a game or in real life. If I couldn’t, though, I would give up. But as time went on, my attitude changed. Rather of giving up, I continued to try, even if it meant stepping outside of my comfort zone. For instance, when I was required to solve a math equation in front of the class, even though I initially got it wrong, I didn’t give up.

But there’s a difference between being patient and letting time pass you by. Procrastination, a major issue that many individuals experience, especially university students, is the act of waiting for an opportunity rather than working towards it.

Being patient with people is by far one of the most difficult things to do because not only you are investing the precious time you have in them, the end result could leave you disappointed. On the other hand, being patient with them could lead to a long-lasting healthier relationship but this does not mean you should be patient in a toxic relationship. 

The most difficult aspect of being patient is with yourself. No one is perfect and everyone does mistakes which is why being patient with yourself could lead to success. This means no matter what difficulties you face, you should keep on trying to succeed.
