I wanted to make a new post about patience. Lets look up the word patience in Wikipedia.
According to Wiki, the definition of the word Patience is as follows it is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties
Now by definition it means not to be aggravated, upset, or irritated when dealing with problems of human nature I am assuming. But with human nature comes all kinds of problems. Not just as adults but as children too.
Do you think that dogs or cats have patience. Do you think that when they are sitting in the veterinarians office they are sitting there tapping their foot waiting for the doctor to see them and continuously asking how much longer will it take. I do not see this happen very often. When someone is working on your car and they are trying to figure out what is wrong with it, do you see the car tapping its tires on the ground saying to the mechanic "Hurry up man! I got places to drive to and I have to escort these people around all over the place!" I don't see this happening very often.
Now again, when someone is working with you say on a computer problem which many of have in our daily lives, would it be rude to be standing over someone breathing down their neck while the technician is working on the issue? I am not one to complain about people or about rudeness of people because thats just the way some people are. They are just rude. But that would be another topic for another day. In the line of work that I deal with, I have to be patient with my customers as I would refer them to, as much as I can. Even if they are crabby pattys, I will be as kind and friendly as I possibly can. As for myself, I want to ensure that before I leave my job, or any projects that I am working on, that I complete them in full. And even if it takes an extra couple of minutes to make sure that I have all the paperwork, telephone numbers, names and addresses, thats what I will do. I don't care if you have to wait an extra few minutes for me to finish this up. This is important to me.
There is one more issue I would like to bring up in this post. say when a woman is in labor, delivering a baby, do you think that she would say to the doctor, "Get this freaking baby out of me now because I have errands to run and I have to be back at work within the next two hours!"
I don't think anything like that would happen. But hay, you never never know!!
