Designed with canva by @talktofaith

Hi friends, I'm delighted to make my entry of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 10 week 5 in Scout y sus Amigos Community.

We have a very significant topic here, "Patience".

Here is the contest post if you haven't submitted your entry.

Patience is the ability to accept, endure and tolerate problems, discomforts and sufferings without being anxious or even angry.

On daily basis we encounter a couple of challenges that always demands patience for us to pull through.

Be it in the family, work place, business place, religious gathering, school etc. There is always a situation that would pop up and it will always require patience to pull through that situation.

Patience is a virtue and a skill. Some persons were born with the virtue while others need to learn it.

If you must corporate with the outside world and even your immediate environment, you need lots of patience.

I don't loose my patience easily. I try to control myself at all times.

Like I said, patience is both a skill and a virtue. You are either born with it or you learn it.

In my case, I wasn't born with it. I learnt it with time.

Growing up as the first daughter of the house, I had siblings that can be stubborn and annoying at the same time.

At first I was inpatient with them, but as I grow I began to trust that they will outgrow that stage some day and behave matured.

Which finally turned out well.

Another area we need lots of patience is in the case of team work, one needs lots of patience to work successfully with a team. This is because, some team members can be crazy and stubborn.

When I have a deadline to meet and things are not just working as it's meant to be, i tend to be desperate and stressed out at the same time.

I love keeping to my words and beating deadlines, so if I have a deadline to meet and I'm behind time, yet things are not aligning, it tends to dis-stabilize me and make me anxious and desperate.

Over the years lots of things both negative and positive has happened to me that has soften my heart.

So there is nothing anyone can do right now to make me loose my patience.

One thing about patience is that it's a thing of the heart.

If your heart is been dealt with, you will always be calm each time you are being confronted with any situation that might demand you to react excessively.

Back then when I don't know how to control my temper, I tend to loose it when I run out of patience.

I could remember the first place I worked in a team, our president was so annoying then. Always on my neck, even when others commits any crime, he would put the blames on me.

It was so frutrating, most times he would shout at me, talk down in everything I do. It was unbearable at some point.

So that day I decided to give a piece of my mind. I lost my patience. I spoke and spoke and everyone was really surprised that I could talk that way.

It was after that period that I knew that I have not learnt patience enough, so I decided to start working on myself in that aspect.

Like I said previously, patience is a skill and a virtue.

If you were not born with the virtue, kindly learn the patience skill.

Patience can save you lots of trouble. Patience will give you an edge in a team work.

Patience is one of the qualities of a leader, if you aspire to be a good leader, go for patience and learn the skill.

I also invite @ninapenda, @mesola and @okere-blessing to come participate in this Contest.
