Patience

For the sake of most who lose it at intervals, for some who test it, for some who do not know how to use it; patience resembles your inner self at peace. Patience is a virtue obtained by battling with the negative forces of anger, frustration, depression and downfall. History has it, no battle was won without struggles; such is the victory of patience, never was it earned easily or an early stage.
Be it an annoying person on the other end, vertically down or horizontal road to success, facing a tough time, losing something right in front of your eyes, unable to lose weight, unable to regain form, stuck in the wrong job or partner, everything adds up to the withdrawal of effectively handling situation. The more you dwell in it, the deeper you stride in your struggles. A pinch of patience tweaks the situation, it gives fresh air to the mind, a new direction to thought process, a mode to find an alternate solution. Patience might not guarantee the correct solution but it gives you strength to think of a quasi-correct solution. It gives you few more minutes to think of an alternative. Patience can be all bitter but its fruit is sweet.
Act of patience:
Step 1 :- Silences your mind from negative vocals. -SETS THE GROUND
Step 2 :- Takes a step back from the current position and gives you a broader view of the pit - IDENTIFIES POSSIBLE CAUSE TO THE PROBLEM
Step 3 :- Provides a set of solution that you can take - PREFERRED ACTION
Step 4 :- Makes your mind evolve a step further on what could happen with each action - CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES
Step 5 :- Choose the right path - ACTION
Not always do we think of the consequences before taking the action, but a patient mind catches the upcoming storm and lets you see the real blessings in achieving beyond your force. Such is the virtue of patience, that makes you believe in yourself. Always!
Some might snub you down to an idle, introvert or a loser, but people who point at you are the ones who often annoy you and lose at critical decision making. They like to pull the trigger too soon but do not understand the value of few minutes. Those who lose patience, lose their soul. Patience can and will always give you a better path to chose. For those who do not value the patience, should not risk the fury of a patient man!

Add-wise/Add-vice

To counsel, suggest, recommend or offer an opinion is way easier than helping. Should someone resist himself in giving the expert aid? Should they be looking at themselves first? As a grown up matured human being, the best you could do to yourself is to know better than advising people. It is easier said than done and often people do not stop before showering advises and walk the talk. Not always is the person ready to listen to you, nor he is in the mood to get it from someone living a similar or a minimal life.
You never know what the person is going through or the condition he fights be it mental or physical. It is easy to speak from a distance, but tough to be in his/her shoes and fight it. Just because the listener is patient doesn't mean you bring him down with your wises. You wouldn't even know but your minutest piece of care or generosity would be aggression and a blow on his face. Stop! Even if you care, there's a way of putting things, there's a time to do it and there are only few instances to do it. Respect the person and do not test his patience with your wises. Your wises change into vices and in the slightest count of hour, you rank the last person he would look up to in any situation.
Have faith in the person the way he handles situation. Truth is, everyone is a self-made person in this world. You were not born genius, nor was the one in the cradle next to you. Let the person live the life his way, on his terms, on his strengths. Unless he serves his misery for food at your place, do not oblige him with your wises. Nobody is interested in knowing how he should carve his life, unless it comes from his family. Let the man live, let the man find the strength and struggle with his patience. He will emerge as a winner. Help him if you care before he starts disrespecting you for your advises. It really doesn't matter if you are an extrovert or an introvert, sensitive or intuitive type, thinking or feeling personality, judging or perceiving. It doesn't make up to the excuse. Unless you lived your life happily for six, seven or eight decades or belong to the clan of superhuman, stop yourself from nagging the other person before he turns his back.
Even in your slightest belief he belongs to the troglodytes, then you belong to the same place in his belief.
You wouldn't be knowing in stabbing someone with your advises; remember silence is a sharper sword.

“A wise man is superior to any advises which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.”
