Patience

Patience is a lost art.  Unfortunately I know, I have none.  We want to be satisfied immediately.  Results and successes have to be now.  Service must be on demand.  Next day free shipping is expected.  Test scores need to be online immediately.  Order on demand has to be available.  We have no patience as a society any more.  Maybe some of us do as individuals.  We should all try to be more patience.  Here are some reminders of the fact that great things take time!

• It took 26 months to build the Eiffel Tower.
• It took Da Vinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa.
• It took Michelangelo 4 years to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
• It took Leo Tolstoy over 6 years to write War and Peace.
• It took around 30 years to build the Great Pyramid.
• It took over 40 years before Beethoven’s Fur Elise was performed.
• It took Noah 100 years to build the ark.

This is a tough time of year on your patience.  Try to exercise more when looking for a parking spot or waiting in a checkout line.  Be patient my friends.
