Some says states that sometimes we quit when we are close to the victory. Others states that we can't built Rome in one day. Others states whatever you think others should do in a particular period, will you also do it if it was you. The list goes on and on and these are just quotes which I am not going to dwell on them but I will be speaking more on my  personal reflection on patience which has affected me recently. Recently I have been witnessing how lack of patience can mess up things and destroy humanity, not only in my personal life, interacting with others and also in my working place. Is so easy to need things done quickly for personal benefit and not thinking of others how are they feeling about the situation. And forgetting it was me how will I feel if I was that person. Or even to look at the solution collectively why things are not happening accordingly. Because things are seen different by different individuals and everyone 's opinion or the way they deal with things should be respected. It is easy to feel powerful when has some particular strength which can be financial, material, status, popularity etc which can easily make one to be proud and portraying that on others and making them have self-low esteem, not being inspired or confident but praising you or scared of you. To learn how to be tolerant and be patient with others doesn't come in one day. It is hard to be patient. I know myself and I have failed couple of times but I kept on learning. Especially in my field of work, one needs to be patient. One can easily do harm to others while thinking I am doing the right thing. I always think and put myself in that person 's shoes. I also must say I have been privileged by having someone being patient and tolerant with me somewhere, somehow. And once we start looking things together collectively, knowing and understanding each other, loving each other, thinking as we not I, respect each other, all of this will lead to tolerance and patience in our relationship and which produce best results. I have witnessed it. Is easy to go for quick things or lotto approach in our current fast life where things have changed tremendously in terms of IT, food, economy, materialism, etc. But one needs to create that space and time to finds oneself and think of others. I am always thinking of so called my four pillars of life daily and if I am patient enough not to mess everything any of the pillars because my house of Life will collapse if one is broken. My four are simply personal growth, spiritual growth, Community (world/global/to others) contribution and community growth. Am I adding value to all these or am I am just being harm to myself and everyone out there.
