28. Patience
28.1. Do you have patience?
Not at all! I’m quite an impatient person. I often feel
on edge (stressed),
especially when I’m behind the wheel or waiting in line. Moreover, I like
immediate gratification, so I tend to lose my patience when I cannot obtain this.
This is one my biggest
downfalls (bad personality traits).
28.2. Do most people in your country have patience?
Not really. Since I come from a country of people who are used to having all
conveniences
at their fingertips (something easily accessible), they often
become impatient when this doesn't happen. Furthermore, people spend a lot
of time
commuting (traveling from home to work) to their offices in the
mornings, which tends to leave them feeling
antsy (anxious) as well as angry
at other drivers.
28.3. Have you ever lost patience?
Who hasn’t? There have been several instances. I once became quite impatient
while I was waiting in a convenience store, not to mention with people
cutting
the line repeatedly, and I just left my items there
idly (not doing anything)
and
stormed out (left angrily) of the store.
28.4. When do you need patience the most?
That’s a difficult question. I think having patience in general is quite a
virtue (a
good trait). I think it’s good to have it with your life in general. When you have
this, I imagine your life goes more at ease from step to step. Moreover, I think
it’s important to have it with your children so that they aren’t raised in an angry
environment, and furthermore so they can develop it later on in life.
