Stumbled upon a nice quote today, it says " PATIENCE is not about how long one can wait, but how well one behaves while waiting". A short sentence yet, it serves several meanings. Under certain circumstances, this quote fits me well right now. To ever have that faith that things will turn out well, one has to have the utmost faith in whatever he does. Being patient is something that we hope to have as one of our main characteristics but when times get tough, some will just act out of anger and forget the meaning of being patient. 

My father is an example of a very patient man and I'd like to think that I am just as patient as he is :P Sometimes, even the simplest task, such as waiting for us by the school porch can be a difficult task if one does not have the patience to do so but my father will wait for us outside the school porch, even if we are late by one hour. He waits patiently, knowing that we're still in our extra classes. Sometimes, he will just read the newspaper and sometimes, he just listens to the radio. As we enter the car, he will not get angry, at all. I will just say "Sorry Pa, lambat" and he says "Okay" and life moves on as usual. In contrast, my mother will be angry and says "I am not picking you up tomorrow, your father will do so! " Hahaha. How a marriage works, I guess. The power of Ying and Yang. 

If there's anything that I'd like to have in this world, it would be to have passion and to be patient but come to think of it, if you're passionate in something that you do, you would not mind in being patient and to wait for the best results of it. You will be patient even if you are running in circles, going around nowhere while doing what you love to do. You will not get bored watching something that you adore, something that you wish to acquire, be it a skill, a qualification, a trophy, a car or perhaps, someone? :P 

Right now, what bothers me the most is that my expectation of being 23 years old doesn't seem to match with where I am right now. In your mind, you've created this path for your career, for your life and a wrong turning alters everything. This is what I mean by being patient and hoping that life will take you to a better road, with a greater ending. I'd always thought that by now, I'd have everything figure out, or at least, I've got one thing figured out. I have not figured anything out. I haven't. I haven't.
