PATIENCE

PATIENCE....is one trait I did not possess while studying in MManila ....I was always on the go: I never wanted to wait for anyone, even if they waited on me, and/or for me.... I never had patience on people who act and think slow: I hated to talk to anyone who can't cope up with me; I never had patience with people who refuse to learn and those who need some push to be able to absorb things and more..... * BUT TIMES DO CHANGE.... .I encountered some as I went my way. AS I TRAVELLED around the country and abroad, I realized that people do not think the way I do. Some may walk fast, others slow, some may be glib, others stutter; Some may have guts, others shy, others may be true, while others lie. ** PATIENCE is one trait I never had....nor ever will have..... Hence, some relatives branded me as "mataray, masungit.." It bothered me then, now....I couldn't care less. *** I please C. , and myself alone. I am alone and no one can push me around. But I have learned to cry a little.... >>>>smile a little >>>>and WAIT a little until the day comes..... **** PATIENCE, Nanay used to say,is like COOKING: "....one has to go through the low fire and slow simmer to achieve the best concoction. PATIENCE IS A POWERFUL TRAIT TO LEARN." I wonder.... I still do..... really!
