morereb10:. "I think there is no patience in life again"....not "i think "their" is no "patient"...though patient seems to be right,but it's safer to use patience and avoid criticism |

The greatest assassins of dreams is haste, the desire to reach things before the right time.. The moderns mans dream is having what he want right now without having to go through inconvenience to get it. Pple are alwas looking out for painless shortcuts and cheap discount to the price of success. Those who succeed are not those whose bed of roses have no thorns. They succeeded because they perserved. They succeeded because they remembered to add the ingredients of patience. A dutch proverbs says ; handfull of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains. Any worthwhile project requires considerable time between planting and harvest. You cannot hurry the harvest. You can't sow and reap the same day. |

CrazyScientist:@CrazyScientist you won't kill me, lol. Dogs are renowned with bones and not meat. The hasty man eats the meat, throws the bones away then comes the dog that waited patiently while others left to their fate, who knows, preamble in quest of sexual satisfaction. Patience is golden. An old adage has it that ' one who always act in a haste ends up with basketfull of blames and regrets. Most adages are not always applicable in certain cases. Take for instance, a doctor will be fast to save life will the client a patient will wait to be administered. This brings us to another topic. Why are sick people called patients? 1 Like |

A patient dog meets no bone to eat and might starve to death |
Re: What Do You Think About This Adage In This Age? by Nobody: 10:31am On Jun 06, 2015 |
morereb10: Like most adages, it doesn't apply everytime There are some situations where its best to be patient, and some situations where one has to act swift, which is similar to this proverb " a wise man knows when to fight and when to run" |

ur idea about age and race is just the literal meaning as no perversion can counter the rule of nature |

morereb10:My dear, because the world is morally decaying does it justify the decay? NO! Even the bible said that patient is a virtue and it is one of the gifts of the spirit.... Time and chance happeneth to them all is a word from the bible... But this doesn't justify you not to do the needful in sincerity if you find yourself in a retarding state of life but after the work you need to wait (patient) for your efforts to be crowned by God who is nature. Everyone needs patient because the going must be tough someday and only then you will stand firmly on the right track or deviate from the wrong to the right. There is nothing wrong with the oldie but a lot is wrong in the life of the present individuals in this... Thanks |

[/b]"A patient dog eats the fattest bone"[b]....or do you really mean [/b]"Good things come to those who wait"[b]? |
Re: What Do You Think About This Adage In This Age? by Nobody: 10:58am On Jun 06, 2015 |
Let me cite examples. A salary earner needs patience till month's end to get his/her salary. You for rush go collect am now before month's end. Na sack letter you go get. A building needs patience to be built. Everything done at the right time. Rush build am. Like Synagogue, your house will fall and kill you (no insults intended). You need speed to think, but patience to plan. Speed to catch a new babe but patience to maintain a relationship. Speed to go to the market to purchase stuff but patience to do business even with a smart mind. There is time for everything. Speed and Patience go side by side. Just know when to apply either... |

Another thing. Impatience has caused more road accidents, unwanted pregnancies, deaths, poverty, arrests and evils. REMEMBER JANUARY 27TH BOMB BLAST Impatience to find out where the problem was led lots of Nigerians to their untimely deaths in the waters at Pako, Isolo. Our beloved Paul Walker died in a car accident. According to news I heard, he was driving at high speed. May God rest his soul... The fires that gutted part of Isheri-Idimu area of Lagos state early this morning was caused by over speeding of the tanker driver, according to eyewitnesses. It crashed into a building and caught fire. There's nothing wrong in Speed but use Wisdom while speeding. PATIENCE. Most people on here actually are not talking about Patience but Laziness. People confuse Patience for Laziness, Procrastination and Nonchalance. Patience isn't stupid. It's got wisdom, it knows when and how to act. Watch a cat catch a rat. The cat knows when to ponce and catch the disturbing mice. Even the spider is patient, waiting and moving slowly before catching the juicy fly. Like I've always said, apply wisdom while speeding or being patient I don too write sef. Na WAEC? |

Patience is a great virtue. Patience means: (1.) Thinking and reasoning before acting (2.) Looking at the future prospect of any action,investment or even relationship before jumping into it. (3.)Delayed Gratification. Even if, you are smart and quick, you need patience to avoid future palaver. |

morereb10:A patient dog eats the left over of the fastest dog. This is for the new century. |
Re: What Do You Think About This Adage In This Age? by Nobody: 11:41am On Jun 06, 2015 |
morereb10:Yes, the quote is true. The patient dog eats the fattest bone BECAUSE the fastest dog has eaten up all the flesh. |
