The Four P's

Patience, Positivity, Punctuality and Perseverance

The vehicle to a smart and impressive personality comes in handy and all you have to do is be yourself and never give up.

Patience:

As much as we love people who are calm and patient we are the ones who are always cribbing about the delays, the inconvenient weather, the corrupt politicians, delayed trials and judgment and a lot more.

Often when we are in urgency of a certain thing or we are in need of reaching deadlines, we are stressed.

The stress in turn leads to short temper that brings along wrong decisions and it mostly affects our tongue which turns bitter while we all know that a sweet tongue can melt the hardest of metals and the bitter tongue breaks the thinnest of the glass that is relationship.

So if we pull in a little bit of patience world would be at our feet.

I have often seen people cursing while they are waiting in the queue and soon that curse turned into disappointment and few times it ends into a fight.

The very purpose of waiting in the queue is wasted and also the bitter taste is left behind which not only affects us but also the person at the other end of receiving.

I have earned a lot of friends and they mostly compliment me that they are comfortable and like being with me.

They say they can talk to me.

Because I am a listener:)

No offenses to my dear friends but I would add that I am a patient person.

I keep myself calm and let them speak before adding my bit.

So it's a win-win situation.

Again no one is super powered to be patient all the time, we all have our exhaustion level some last longer than the others.

So the key word that I often use with my kids is the magic pill...

My kids are professional sport players and when they are participating in a tournament there are times when they have to wait for hours till it is their turn to perform and is often delayed so before leaving from the house I pull out imaginary tablets from the drawer of meds and offer them one with water "here take this tablet of patience, it will help".

Trust me their energy lasts longer, they are better than other kids, complain less and are well prepared for the wait.

Sometimes though in a hurry I forget the pills but still I have plan B for that..

I keep on repeating myself

I am a very patient person.

It takes more than the current situation to break me.

Okay other than the waiting lets see where else do we need the magic of patience.

Have you ever noticed why an argument starts?

It's often the statement made by the former one that is unacceptable by us that argument occurs.

I am sure each one of us who are readers and including me the writers herself have come across some argument or the other

But have we ever thought or made a recap of the same argument.

It is mostly due to the lack of patience on our part that we fail to access and analyze the meaning of the statement that the former one had made.
