10.27 独立
10.27 Patience is usually not a good strategy. We should take action now rather than later.
The assertion, which indicates patience is not a good strategy because take action now is much more effective than do it later, is arised by some people, but others, myself included, are not agree. Although the world nowadays encourage no more than effectiveness, it does not mean that we can spare no time on the waiting, also known as showing some patience when it is in need, because patience can help us do the things right. First and the most important, patience is a good attitude toward trivial tasks. It is true that if we take action immediately, we get more chance of saving time and finish the task eariler. However, this strategy does not always work when we face the trivial tasks. Patience, the good attitude which help us understand the real goal for the task, can facilitate us making a better plan for the process of work, which in return optimizes the effectiveness of work. Take my personal experience for example, I have 4 night exams in one week and I have to finish 2 online homeworks and the daily courses. Sounds impossible and I have to make some sacrifices, right? However, if I could take 10 minutes before I start my daily burdened review, I could have a more thorough understanding of where I am now in my review schedule and what should I do more to finish the task. I use the strategy every time when I face mutiple tasks and it never fails to work. Therefore, the patience of holding up for 10 minutes is more important than taking actions right away. Second, patience is usually a good strategy especially when we are seeking for external help. As a Chinese old saying goes, “The one who has better patience, the more they can achieve.” It also works on the personal communication. A research shown on Times indicates that given the same conditions for job applicants, the ones who show better abilities in patience, the greater chances they are getting the job in communication- related industries. This is especially true that the one in service industry. For example, the cashier in a cafeteria needs to be patient to ask all the requirements the customer want for his order, otherwise the rush work like making orders right away could cause every one unhappy. The boss would be unsatisfied with the wrong order because the cook has making food based on wrong requests, wasting material and time in results. The customer would be unpleased for the extra waiting time to remake his order. Therefore, the patience is so much in need in such circumstances. Third and not the least, patience is also a good virtue that displays who you are. When we discribe a person, “patience” is never the bad words for them. In addition, the certain degree of patience also indicates someone who has been well-educated. Waiting in the queue are the best way to display one’s patience and which also demonstrates whether or not he is a sophisticated social animal. The obeying behavior for society manners illustrates that he wants to get respect by showing his respect to other people. Therefore, the patience of showing mutual respect is always a good strategy if we want to survive in the society with dignity. In all, patience is not go backwards, but to help us settle down the first step more firmly and in right direction, which in return help us make the things right. 35 Mins; 589 words. |
