Patience 2 - The reward

Patience
[Writing in progress... be patient! :) ]
.
What is 'patience'?
If I still think of when 'something' is going to happen everyday, am I still patient?
.
An impatient person is one that runs 'out of character' and loses his peace. He is the sort that would dig out the germinating seeds just because he cannot see the green shoots coming out from the ground. An impatient person lacks the trust that the seeds will grow on their own. And of course, having dug out the seeds, the seeds die.
.
We have all seen impatient people at some point in our life. For instance, the wife who could not take it any more and left her eternally optimistic entrepreneur husband struggling with his fledging business. Or the impatient business partner who throw insults at his associates because of the prevailing frustrations without offering any better solutions to the problems. Some have even led to law suits over problems that neither party have a fair solution to.
.
There are many processes that we cannot see with our naked eye or five senses and we therefore have to based on 'trust' if we want to get anywhere. 'Trust' is easier when we understand more about what is around us. More importantly, 'trust' also means understanding that we are not alone to make things happen.
.
The Wikipedia defines 'Patience' as:
The state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

Comedy - Patience
I do. But less so nowadays. I used to be really really angry with 'stupid' people. Why don't they use their brains? or commonsense...etc?
.
Well, there are many reasons for that, which we won't analyse exhaustively here.
.
Take a look at the following videos of the infamous Ali G on Youtube.
.
.
Here's the same person, Sasha Baron Cohen, explaining what he did as Ali G, the character he played, which is a rapper wannabe from Buckshire, UK, mocking important people and what they do.
.
So, take life seriously, but not too seriously. Life is a game. Enjoy it!

Foul Language is used in both the videos.
Religion - by the late comedian George Carlin
.
Take away the foul language and the baseball bat, and what he said makes a lot of sense. What do you think?.
.
The Ten Commandments
.
If there is a "Ten Commandments", I would rather have it as "Ten Commitments". "Commandments" come from a purported supreme being imposing it on us based on Fear.
"Commitments" come from within.

Technology 7 - Solar Powered Car
.
This one is most impressive. He constructed the whole car from scratch!
.
.
.
This one is a little more odd ball, but with the right investors, it can be a fun car to watch.
.
.
.
This one, a golf cart fitted with solar panels, is already commercially available for US$7,000.

It will still need electricity to compress the air, but that can be more easily controlled compared to combustion engines.

Obama
.
.
.
I am inspired that at last there is courage for another major change in America, and perhaps changes to global affairs. I think he has succeeded because he has included everyone in his Campaign, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual preference and physical abilities. He even spoke specifically about those who have voted for the Republican and that he too will be their President; and that he will listen to everyone especially when there are disagreements.
Let's hope this is a turning for America and also for the world to emulate.
.
And as for Vic's schoolmates who have been taunting him because he is from an ethnic minority, they should do some self-reflection. How much Love we have is demonstrated by how much we include, not exclude. The students who taunt Vic are excluding Vic, and without being conscious of it, are somehow ultimately motivated by Fear. By embracing all, Obama won the US Presidential race. Those who taunted Vic ought to re-member that. "Re-member" to return to be "One".
