Realize, My child,
that in patience, lies the wealth of forbearance -
forbearance that gives one the ultimate strength to be his own self.
Remember that if you receive
everything easily in the palm of your hand,
you will be addicted to rest and comfort and
will dread the slightest drip of sweat.
Yes! It is only the lazy one
that is impatient, for he does not know that it is work -
simple hard work that makes time constant.
For him, time equates to the worldly gain.
Little does he know, that it is this false equation
that has made time for him unpredictable with its horrifying fears.
