Patience
“Lack of forbearance in small matters frustrates great plan.” This was what our great Chinese Confucius said. Confucius was a great educationist and philosopher. His words were, of course, right and also practical to apply in our daily life.
We are human and should possess the virtue of patience. Of course, we know that to be patience is a kind of pain, but if we want to win success, we must be patience. Besides patience in the beginning is painful, but in the end, it is sweet.
We, Chinese, have a saying: “He conquer who endure patience.” And also, there is another saying: “forbearance for one moment may save trouble for a long time.”
American philosopher Benjamin Franklin said: “He that cannot bear with other people passion cannot govern his own.”
Another philosopher Jean J Rousseau also said: “Patience is bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” It tells us that we should bear a habit to be patient in all our life to avoid troubles or even disasters which may fall upon us out of our expectation.
