Patience is hard for many people
because we live in a society where we’re used to receiving instant
gratification. From smart phones to the internet, we are able to receive
information by instantaneous access. However, patience can lead to amazing
accomplishments by giving yourself time to plan which can lead to incredible
results. Even history has shown patience can lead one to success. For instance,
it took Thomas Edison 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb in 1879.
He was successful just for the fact of him being patient. However, in order to
be patient at what you are doing, it requires commitment. It’s very important
to understand that it takes time to see the end results. While being committed
to what you want, you can see the bigger picture. When you are committed, you
know what you need to do to get the end of the story. Sometimes, people think
patience means sitting back and being complacent. Patience means staying
focused in what you’re committed to, but persistently work towards achieving it.
Another great example of Patience
can be found in the episode of Daredevil titled “Stick”. Matt Murdock lost his
eye sight at very young age in his life. He realized all odds were against him.
Under the guidance of his mentor name Stick, young Matt had to develop a talent
and skill so he can be courageous in life. Stick trained him in Martial Arts.
He also taught Matt to use his other senses carefully; Stick referred to as
Matt’s “Gifts”. Matt didn’t wake up one day and quickly became a crime fighter
and saved lives. He kept working at it by being patient and staying committed.
When you are committed to something you don’t even see the work. You see the
commitment as a gift; make it work for you.
In conclusion, Daredevil episode
has shown that patience can help you make wiser decisions in your life. It’s
very important to know that patience can help you trust that things will turn
out fine. You can still envision the end results and persevere to reach your
dream. Patience is a commitment to tomorrow.
