Patience is being able to tolerate delay. My name is Hannah and like Hannah in the Bible, I'm supposed to be patient but I am fairly patient. Life has taught me to be patient because no matter how much you are in a hurry there are levels in life you can't jump, if you jump those levels, unfortunately you might reach a stage in life you will have
to wait or get delayed until things falls in place . If I'm to rate myself over 100, i might give myself 50% in being patient. I admire people who are patient because it's only a strong person who exhibit patience.
Patience in life is very important. There is the saying that goes 'better to be late than to be the late'. This means it is better to achieve something late than to lose it totally or lose one's life because of being in a hurry. Let's start from the childhood stage. Each class in school has an age a child should attain before being in that class, but if a child is given double promotion or even triple, at a stage, the child might get stuck because the level of that class is bigger than the level of the child and the child might have to repeat classes to meet up.
Patience makes us to get something valuable and durable. If one is in a hurry to get married without learning about one's partner or without taking time to get a good partner, one might end up in a bad marriage but with being patient one gets the best.
Patience enables you to be in control of whatever situation you find yourself
Being patient helps us solve a problems example if you had a carryover in school you would need patience to study the course and pass it again.
Through patience, our dreams and expectations materialize. It is said that all that glitters is not gold so impatience makes us to get fake while patients makes us to get gold, treasurable values. Bring patient can be likened to a man climbing a ladder to be able to roof his house, there is no way to reach the roof without painstakingly climbing the ladder.

The last time I lost my patience was some years ago. I had this boss who was always very critical and not nothing one does ever satisfied him. He complained of everything and was always calling staff names like fool, useless, etc. On a particular day, I had worked and finished all I had to do for the day when he came and started nagging and calling me names, harassing me as usual, I lost my patience and carried my bag and left.
Patience requires practice and perseverance to develop. The first trick to increase patience is taking time to ask yourself why you are where you are and what you want to achieve. If you tell yourself the sincere truth, it will help you ignore whatever is getting you pissed or annoyed and you will finally apply the virtue of patience therefore after reaching ing your goal.
Always ask yourself if what you want is worth the wait. Is it quantity you want or quality? The answer might help increase your patience
Identify things that make you impatient. Is it traffic hold up, someone's nagging, standing in a queue? And then try to work on these things and also try to avoid being too stressed. Stress can lead to impatience.
Sincerity be sincere to yourself that life is not a fast moving train. There are situations or stages in life you need to hold on and practice patience, in such situations look back and be thankful for the past when everything moved fast. By this, it will help you to be patient.
