Patience & Perseverance
Getting desired result instantly or say
getting success in short cut way is normal human tendency. We are prone to
adopt any measures in order to attain the things we plan and if we fail to get
it we either criticize others or curse our fate. We forget observing our
shortcomings, flaws which cause of deprivation of our aspiration. As a matter
of fact we need immediate introspection
to make out the reasons the time when we feel restless so that we could protect
ourselves from being drowned in the sea of despondency.
Only carrier which can ferry a person from sea of despondency is patience and perseverance that is why in almost all religion much emphasis has been given on holding the bar of patience and perseverance. Believe in self and demonstrating the patience and perseverance is tantamount to please the almighty. One said that patience is companion of success, an integral part that lead a person to ladder of ultimate success. If anybody leaves this companion at any juncture he deprives himself from enjoying beautiful journey of life.
In daily life we come across hundreds of incident in surrounding. Solomon Ibn Gabiroal said “ The test of good manners is to be patient with bad ones”. We learn a lot of things from happenings in and around. Sometimes a person looses his temper and gets aggressive which creates chaos in surrounding, here through demonstration of patience and perseverance we cultivate good manner through which a amicable environment can be established in surrounding, in society.
Students often get disheartened when they don’t succeed in examination. Some loose patience they decide to quit pursuing the goal in fact their such steps show their weakness. Charles Caleb Colton said ‘Patience is the support of weakness; impatience the ruin of strength.” W can give strength to the areas which causes of failure in examination by sticking up to the goal and patience but if we get impatient and quit the target we ruin our strength what we gained over the years.
An employee of the company has to go through various phases during the course of performing his duties. Somewhere he gets victim of prejudice, somewhere he gets victim of leg pulling, somewhere he is assigned load of responsibility deliberately to harass him. The work culture where he passes through such things compel him to demonstrate immense patience & perseverance for long survival. Those who lack patience mar their career profile.

Researchers and Scientists spend their lot of times on projects sometimes their all efforts go in vain, instead of losing hope they demonstrate patience and perseverance, patience eventually facilitate them in attaining their goals. When we dial a number on mobile it instantly connects to other side thousand miles away from caller but this miracle was not consequence of efforts of minute or second but patience and perseverance of the inventor who persisted in the goal with indefatigable labor and patience resulting remarkable invention.
Sometimes we loose patience after loosing precious thing of our life. Hundreds of thought of negativity creep into mind. It is only patience and perseverance which uphold and manage at that juncture. We must believe in the fact that nothing is permanent everything in the surrounding has its own limit, has its own span of life, so instead of thinking about lose and gain we should enjoy every moment of life with patience and perseverance
Importance of patience and perseverance can never be denied for its long lasting effect in every sphere of life. But sometimes we also have to think about an old saying” There should be a limit of patience” it means that we should not let ourselves flow on support of patience. We need to apply our sense where we should demonstrate our patience and perseverance for better result. Hollbrook Jackson said “ patience has its limits, Take it too far and it’s cowardice” We must keep patience but depending upon completely on it in the materialistic age, is not pertinent. Sometimes we need to break the rules as per situational requirement as we are not so perspicacious like Sufi, saint who had spent decades in prayer to get the spiritual light. Foremost thing is that belief we should believe in doctrine that impatience can never get us desired result but at the same we must visualize the things meticulously whether our patience and perseverance are in right direction.
Margret Thacher once said “ I am extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end”
