Geduld, Patience, терпение, 耐心

Why stressing so much in this life?
Because of competition? If you aren't alert of something, another one will be?
And in this moment of 'slowly down a little bit', your career is over?
The blame of globalisation!
Thanks to modern techniques, we are able to compete with the entire world and we will be mightier, richer and 'more social' with

others. What goes around, comes around!
Shouldn't we go back to the good old times and enjoy ourselves?
No, because we can enjoy it NOW more than ever with the luxury we have. A human being will
do an effort to reach the equilibrium between work and pleasure.
Unfortunately the pleasures (influenced by the media and marketing) are more important than work, so that people in industrialized, social secured countries, will be more lazy and even clumsy at time.
It's why possession aggravates and a vicious circle will depress us.
PATIENCE is the magical word to heal stress-situations. Why the Chinese are saying "In serenity, there is intensity". If you calm down, you will think and do it better.
Isn't it?
Stress is making us ill after time and even will cause accidents that can mark you a lifetime!
Let's taking an example of a (door) bell or a telephone that is going on: in a hurry you want to shut it down by opening the door or by taking the telephone. Maybe it's important!
And then you fall from the stairs by missing one of the several steps. Result: laying down at the hospital and recovering several months to be fit as a fiddle...
Is it worth to do this in a hurry? If you know that (s)he will come/call back another time, or you can call back to him/her, then you know that this patience is worth every word of it!!!
