Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties (source: wikipedia)
Virtue : According to its etymology the word virtue (Latin virtus) signifies manliness or courage. Taken in its widest sense virtue means the excellence of perfection of a thing.
Possesing the trait of patience and treating it as a virtue is the most difficult thing for normal beings. It takes just seconds and absolutely requires no sense to lose patience, which means that patience is there in everyone and we only lose it. Isn't that a great thought? We possess a virtue inherently and just requires ignoring the common sense to lose it. In the first place, no one, who is sane, would ever want to give up common sense. Having said all this, it is still difficult to be patient under many circumstances. Like when you are waiting to hear from someone on an important decision making issue, you cannot really be patient. Sense takes backseat and it is only hope that will keep you going. To try and keep hope and sense as the flag bearers under these circumstances is quite a task....
