Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Patience is usually not a good thing and we need to take actions at once.
People encounter problems and issues throughout their lives, and being patient is always considered to be a wise practice. Nowadays, some people claim that patience is no longer a good thing and it sometimes lets opportunities slip, taking action at once is usually a better choice. However, I cannot agree. In most case, being patient continues to be a sound strategy.
Admittedly, being patient could make people miss opportunities, but it only happens when it comes to emergencies. When natural disasters happen, many people lose everything and become refugees. Some of them are trapped in burning houses or sinking cars, and we need to take actions at once instead of trying to figure out the best solutions. The time is so limited that taking any action will be better than taking no action at all. However, such situations do not happen frequently. Plus, rescuing people immediately without thinking carefully sometimes also brings unpleasant results.
Being patient sometimes means waiting for the best chance to carry out a deliberate plan, and taking actions before the right time is an unwise practice, My father here is a good case in point. He used to plan to set up his own company when he was a college student, but he did not do it immediately, for he believed that he was not experienced enough and there was still much to learn. My father work for a large company for three years to gain field experience. He also spent two years finding a like-mind sponsor. He did not start his own business before everything was ready, and that is why his company now runs quite well and makes large profits.
Sometimes people take actions at once when they are in a bad mood, and being patient may help them avoid making terrible mistakes. All parent want their children to do well at school, and they usually get upset if there children fail to satisfy them. Some parents are not patient enough to allow children to male mistakes and to learn from these mistakes, and instead, they blame children violently. Being treated in an inappropriate way, children are very likely to become passive and diffident. Many young parents often regret that they hurt their children's feelings, and they all admit that if they could be patient at first, some negative results can be avoided.
Even though we are living a life of a quicker rhythm, it is quite obvious that being patient is still a good way to find the best solution to problems and issues or the wisest strategy to carry out our plans in most cases, and it would be an exaggeration to say that it is no longer a good choice.
