1 What are the things that people wait for every day?
There are a whole host of things that people have to wait for on a daily basis. They’re usually small things like waiting for a friend to text you back, waiting for a bus, or waiting for an important email. Waiting is part and parcel of day to day life and unfortunately cannot be avoided. As people say,“patience is a virtue”, so if you can learn to become adept at this skill then waiting for things doesn’t seem so awful.
2 Are people in your country accustomed to waiting?
I think, generally speaking, people in Vietnam are not accustomed to waiting, especially when compared to other cultures where waiting is much more deeply ingrained.This is evident in busy shops, where customers will push in front of each other and shove money into the hands of the cashiers instead of waiting in line. Another obvious example would be on the roads. During traffic jams, every car and motorbike tries to move at the same time, creating chaos, instead of waiting for one another.
3 Are adults better at waiting than children?
Definitely, without a doubt. Children are generally impatient because they have not yet learned the benefits of waiting. A great example is the scientific experiment in which children were given a piece of candy and were told they could either eat it right now, or wait for five minutes and receive ten pieces of candy. Of course, the second option is much more appealing and any adult would understand this, but in contrast, almost all of the children were unable to wait, and immediately ate the piece of candy in front of them. I think this demonstrates my point perfectly. Children are simply unable to understand what they can gain long-term from waiting.
4 Are people more patient than they used to be?
Quite honestly, I would say no. In fact, I think the opposite is true and that people are on the whole much less patient than they used to be. Perhaps, the main reason for this is technology. Think about communication for instance. In the past, people had to wait several days or even weeks to get a letter from a loved one, but now if we don’t receive an immediate reply to a text message or email, we become easily frustrated. Similarly, back in the day if you wanted to watch a new film or listen to a new album by your favorite band, you would have to wait a long time for it to be released. These days, we can simply download most kinds of entertainment within minutes,so we’re basically much less familiar with waiting for the things we want.
5 Some people do not like waiting, why do you think it is so?
Does anyone really like waiting? I doubt it. Perhaps, there’s a certain excitement in the anticipation of something, like waiting for a holiday, or waiting to see a good friend, but most of the time I don’t think anyone honestly enjoys waiting. It’s usually irritating, and incredibly stressful at worst. Waiting for the outcome of medical tests, or waiting for exam results can be maddening and even scary.
6 What are the benefits of being patient nowadays?
Well, the ability to remain cool, calm and collected is always useful. In a situation where others are impatient, the ability to wait will stand out and show your maturity and strong willpower. There’s a popular saying,“Good things come to those who wait”,and I would tend to agree with this. If you are patient and keep your eyes open, then luck will eventually come your way. Perhaps, the real trick is being patient and recognising these opportunities when they appear.
7 Do you think older people manage time better than young people?
On the whole, yes, I’d say older people are much more adept at managing their time. This is probably simply because they've had more experience and have learned a variety of skills to help harness their time to the best of their abilities. It may also because older people are much more aware of the passing of time and their ownmortality. Time is constantly running out for everyone, but as we age this becomes more of a pressing concern. Older generations often comment on how time seems to be speeding up. Therefore, they’re determined to make the most of the time (or: live life to the full)they have left, by filling it with the most vital aspects of life, and cutting out all of the trivial and insignificant things young people waste time on.
8 Do computers or electronic devices help us to manage time?
When, it comes to time management, I think technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there area plethora of apps that are designed specifically to help us manage our time wisely. Almost everyone these days uses their smart phone to schedule their days in one way or another, whether it’s through using a simple alarm function,or detailed dairies with reminders of when to work, exercise and even eat. On the other hand, electronic devices are also the biggest distraction in modern life. Many of us spend hours scrolling mindlessly through our social media feeds, ignoring the tasks we ought to be spending time on. Even when we try to limit our interaction with technology, time flies and hours can pass without us realising. So I think ultimately these devices both help and hinder us. If we can learn to use them efficiently then they have the potential to be hugely beneficial.
9 What kinds of jobs require the most patience?
Answer: In my view, patience is a vital trait that is needed in almost all kinds of jobs. But, professionals like doctors, nurses, researchers and teachers are expected to have a higher level of patience as compared to others. If these people become impatient, it will affect the quality of their work.
10 Is it always better to be patient in work or studies?
Answer: As far as studies are concerned, learning is a gradual process and students have to be patient. It’s not possible to become the master of a subject in a short span of time. It takes years of efforts to develop an in-depth knowledge of any field. Regarding work too, I think people can perform better if they stay calm and concentrate on their work
