Patience is an Art!!

Recently I was day dreaming(!), seems to be the only thing I do these days :D. Anyways I was wondering about being patient and not to count the chicks i.e dreams before they hatch. So what does patience yield? These are some of my findings :

Patience is the companion of wisdom. – St. Augustine

Patience improves productivity because it creates a better state of mind, a clearer state of mind, for better decision making.Patience allows you to see the good things, the positive things in life. It helps you see the good in any situation and to realize the value that does exist.The ability to re-frame a situation by looking at it from a different point-of-view is another way to restore the art of patience.Often the gap of time between when you know something is going to happen and when it actually occurs can be one of the best times for self-awareness to take place. You can learn a lot about yourself during this period.

-The Devil's Dictionary, 1911
patience, n. A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue

-He sows hurry and reaps indigestion. Robert Louis Stevenson

Patience is becoming a lost art. We sometimes feel others becoming more impatient with us if we are not quick to answer or respond right away which will only exacerbate our own impatience. However, most things worth having take time to obtain – they take patience. Art cannot be rushed and patience cannot be lost if the picture is to be finished. But Patience is the art of hoping as quoted by. Marquis De Vauvenargues. The interpretation of Hope may differ as a liter glass filled with 500 ml might be assumed to be half-full or  half-empty. 

The perspective might be pessimistic and impatient as half-empty or Optimistic and patient as half-full.
