PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE


Why is patience a virtue?

The phrase "patience is a virtue" is just a way of expressing the importance of being patient. A virtue is a trait or quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Patience can make us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay implying self control and forbearance. When we say "patience is a virtue" we are exposing our moral values and expressing the importance of patience as a foundation of principle. So to answer the question patience is not a virtue until it truly becomes a virtue and knowing how diverse the spectrum of individualism is I'm sure patience is a vice(opposite of virtue) to some. Patience is a necessity for a happy existence and that is why the phrase is so often used.

 They say: 

"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances." Thomas Jefferson


all good things come to those who wait
Q: Dig?
A: Dug.

 And I say:

"Patience is a virtue, have it if you can. Seldom found in woman, Never in a man".  .  ;-)

Over a million gets a food-borne illness each year. Of these, thousands die as a result of their illness. Those who are particularly vulnerable to these infections are the very young, the very old, those who are hospitalized and those fighting diseases such as AIDS or Cancer. Many of those illnesses could have been avoided if we adults, children and caretakers had done something as simple as wash our hands correctly. In my Care-giving training we'd been taught how to do the basic hand washing techniques. The Department of Health also promo

MY HOME AND HOW I CLEAN EVERY PART OF IT

Image
It says CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS, but for me CLEANLINESS IS AWARENESS. It keeps every family member from illness and other health problems. Today, I would like to share some of my personal tips on how to clean our household (in and out). Start from the cleanest part of the house down to the dirtiest, top to bottom and inside to outside. But before cleaning I gather first all the necessary things I needed and make myself very comfortable. THE MOST AREA IN MY HOUSEHOLD THAT NEEDS CLEANING ALL THE TIME ARE: a. BEDROOM - it is where my family bonds most of the time. There, we can have quality time together playing and eating sometimes while watching television or just there to seriously tutoring my kids and surfing the net afterwards. How I clean them? A.
