Patience is indeed and excellent quality to have in one's life.
But patience for its own sake is most often worthless, as if there are no sustained actions towards the intended goal, then one is indeed waiting for nothing.

We often see the power of skills development at work in people's lives and even just basic skills can change a person's staid and settled life.
Resignation however poses a big problem. "This is my life, this is how it is and I can do nothing about it, so I am not even going to try"!

From one of the best "self-help" books ever

>Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
_Dr Seuss (Oh the places you will go)

>"This is my life, this is how it is and I can do nothing about it, so I am not even going to try"!

One of the worst excuses in life - *victimhood.*

Exactly-"victimhood" as an excuse at many times for sheer laziness.

"Why must I work if my name is on a list for the past 12 years, as the government has promised to build me a free house if I vote for them"?

"And I also receive a welfare allowance for each of my 8 children, so we rather wait patiently"!

I realize that the above is a bit out of the context to the field that you were discussing, but the "Gestalt" overall picture worldwide doesn't quite paint a great picture for the values of change.

Now don't laugh as I have never read this Dr Seuss. Just asked Marian and she knows him as he writes childrens books?
Certainly knows what he is talking about!

Victims always have an excuse as to why they can't.


>Now don't laugh as I have never read this Dr Seuss. Just asked Marian and she knows him as he writes childrens books?

Oh my!!! :D You are missing out. Yes, children's books of, *The cat in the hat* and *Green Eggs and Ham,* fame :)

A few years ago, I sent *Oh, the places you'll go* to a friend of mine on Steem. It ha valuable lessons for kids and adult alike in it.
