Patience is a Virtue

I was fine this morning. Still a little sick and tired but otherwise, good. Commute was good and everything. Then I got to work. And I got annoyed, over stupid things too. Now I have no patience for people that I've given the same information to at least 4 times, no patience for stupid payroll employees, and no patience for anyone that can't notice that it's 8:55am and I still have my coat on so maybe they should come back later to ask me the same question they asked me yesterday.

I need to take a walk and take a deep breath. I guess maybe I'm just irritable because I'm still sick. I also want to share another section of the Worry Book that I thought was interesting:

Failures are but the pillars to success. To learn by our failures is to achieve success. To never have failed is never have won. Unless we experience failure and its attendent forces, we shall not be able to appreciate to the full a victory. It becomes merely a turn in events that is of little or no interest to us. Failures not only help us to success, but make us kind, sympathetic, understanfing and rich in experience.

We can interpret this in many different ways. I take a look at my life and things that have happened to me recently and I see the meaning of this short paragraph. Each experience we have, either positive or negative, helps us learn and become better people. Understanding the lesson and applying it to our life is the key to building better experiences in the future.
