The dictionary meaning of ‘patience’ is ‘to endure suffering or difficulties.’ In addition to its dictionary meaning, patience is also defined by many people as follows.
‘Patience is the art of having hope.’
‘Patience is the key that opens the door to everything.’
‘Perseverance is a confident attitude that promises future rewards by giving up now.’
‘Patience is not patience but preparedness.’
‘Patience is waiting for what you want or desire to do until you get the right opportunity.’
‘Perseverance is the ability to maintain a good attitude while holding on.’
Those who persevere will pay a price. However, if you want to get something good in return for your patience, you must resist the desire to give up and the temptation to take your mind elsewhere. In other words, you must win the internal conflict. Therefore, patience is not a passive attitude of just enduring and enduring, but an active action of fighting and winning. It may seem static, but it is actually an enterprising attitude.
