There are many virtues that people stand by.  Some of these include honesty, courage, wisdom and many others.  But none of those are possible without having the virtue of patience, patience for many people is the most important trait of a person, without patients nothing in life would be possible.

            Patience is defined by, having the ability to wait for what you want, without getting angry or upset.  This is very different from what we talked about in class, mostly in class we talked about a higher power, or some sort of characteristic that would define you as an honorable person. However without patience nothing would be achievable, as a famous quote states, “good things come to those people who wait.”

1.      All successful people are patient,

2.      All smart people are teaching our youth

3.      Therefore all smart people are patient  

The reason why I think that patient people are virtues is because, in my opinion acquiring patience is very difficult and it isn’t just handed to you, you have to practice every day little by little to acquire patience which can be hard for some people to accomplish.  It all obviously depends on your background and where you came from, what family, how you were raised etc. But I think without patience you can’t accomplish all of the things that you would want to do in life, therefore making your life as eventful or as fun as it could be requires a great deal of patience. 

      Patience is a virtue because in order to be successful in life you need to be patient.  Nothing will just fall in place for you, you need to be patient and put yourself through school for example in order to achieve greater things in your life such as a job and family.  Nothing great happens to those who rush and don’t wait for the opportunities that they have in life.
