expansion on proverb
patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet

Answer 1

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet

It was Aristotle who said: ‘Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet’. There is much wisdom hidden in his words. Patience is one of the most positive virtues in achieving anything in life. Patience means the right attitude. Patience means having the mental strength to hold on despite challenges.  All great personalities in the history of mankind have been patient men and women. Jesus, Einstein, Gandhi, Vivekananda, Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Kalam, etc. were divinely patient.

Patience does not only mean being skillful, it also means being polite to aggressive and impolite users. Only a patient person can be courteous to discourteous people. All people wish to be successful; however, success can only be achieved by patient perseverance. While endavouring for success in any field, one really needs to work very hard, face lots of obstacles, and deal with thoughtless and uncaring people. Without patience, facing all of them is impossible. Ultimately, patience bears sweet fruit.

So, all of us must cultivate and practice patience while doing our day to day activities. At school, home, or at playground we must practice patience with our family members,teachers, and friends.
