Patience

I've been trying to recapture the full meaning of the word Patience lately. It is indeed a virtue, however, I need to know up to what point should people "tolerate delay."

My everyday is what I expected working in New York to be: fast-paced, competitive and sometimes unforgiving. Despite this, I still feel like my career is slow-moving. My boss keeps telling me, "Be patient." - but for how long?

On another note, I was catching up with a single friend (in her early 30's) recently. She is in a serious relationship, however, her man may not be as ready to settle down as much as her. She asked me, how long should I wait? Tick tock.

I do believe that people who uphold patience are setting themselves up for greater rewards. But it's definitely not easy.

If I ever participated in The Marshmallow Test as a kid, I wonder how I would have done?
