Conclusion: The Importance of Patience

Patience is a virtue and a skill that can be learned and mastered by anyone.

It is not an easy skill to develop though.

But once learned, patience can really be extremely helpful in your life.

Being impatient is something you want to avoid when life is busy because it stresses you out and brings undue frustration into your life.

Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.”

Brian Adams
