“Patience is the greatest of all virtues” - An old saying.
But does this particular word “PATIENCE” suits our IT industry. I hardly say Yes. Because none of our people have patience. Patience for?
Patience to wait
Patience to speak
Patience to hear
Patience to work
Patience to get recognition
Patience to earn and etc… (Note: etc is called End of thinking capacity.. Read somewhere)
Patience to wait:
None of us are ready to wait for no one for nothing. Bcoz we earn. Standing in supermarket to wait for billing, we lose patience. In theatre, when front row guys whistle for their stars, we lose patience. When signal denotes 200 seconds countdown, we lose our patience. When in crowding bus, when someone accidentally stamps or push us, we lose our patience. When in restaurant waiting for order, we lose our patience. Crossing road, so much traffic, we lose patience. In car, people crossing in front of our car, we lose patience.
I have only one question in mind. “What we gain when we lose our patience?”
Patience to speak:
Nowadays, we are not good listeners. when our superior comment on us, we lose patience. When others point our mistakes, we point theirs, we lose patience. When on call with mum/dad, we lose patience. where does we gain it when GF/BF on call When a fresher asks for doubt, we lose patience when he doesnt take that. Different is the case for a girl. Anyway, we lose patience.
Question - “What we gain when we lose our patience?”
Patience to Hear:
As i said, we are not good listeners. When our child ask us to attend school function, we have a morning call, we lose patience. When working on issue, if mother calls to know our health, we lose patience. When our CEO or VP address in the open house session, we lose patience. When manager calls for status meeting, we lose patience. When QA guys comes for auditing, we lose patience. When wife complaint about our house mates, we lose patience.
Question - “What we gain when we lose our patience?”
Patience to work:
None are ready to work patiently. Anything we do, there is a speed. we do expect speed. When machine we work does not respond properly, we lose patience. When internet connection is slow, we lose patience. When support guy doesnt respond, we lose patence. When booking tatkal ticket in irctc site on 8am, we lose patience. When code doesnt work as expected, we lose patience. (Seen a clip, guy slapping the monitor with keyboard..:D)
Question - “What we gain when we lose our patience?”
Patience to get recognition:
Hardly people accept other’s recognition. When hike is announced, soon we ask our peer about their hike - Negative, we lose patience. When promotion is announced, when we dont and our peers get, we lose patience. so we change our project or company. We dont wait till next appraisal. Everything in life, be it recognition, reward or award, when our peers get, even though we know that we dont deserve to get it, we want them badly. When our peers goes onsite, we lose patience. Asks PM about our visa process.
Question - “What we gain when we lose our patience?”
Patience to earn:
Currently, Money drives the whole world. The most dominent non living thing that influence a living human life. Most people are selfish in earning. When one of our relative gets a good company, we lose patience. We look for the better. When he gets 7.5L, we negotiate for 8. (even when we get 6L, we say that we earn 8L in front of our relatives.. Thats a different story) When our relative gets new car, we lose patience. we too get one in loan. When he gets a new flat, we lose patience. we get one too. A guy riding bicycle dream of driving a bike. A guy driving a bike dream of a car. The guy in the car dream of even bigger like AUDI,BMW. Guy in BMW has other dreams. I dont condemn dreaming. we should expect or wait for our chance in life with patience.
