Patience
"A man who rode the ferry to work prided himself on his punctuality. But one day he overslept. Fearing he'd be in trouble with his boss, he raced to the dock only to see the boat six feet out from the terminal. Taking a leap, he landed on the deck. Smiling, the captain said, 'Great jump! But if you'd waited another minute we'd have docked and you could've walked on.' Don't be in such a hurry; give it a little time." (On the Right Note, December '08 - February '09)
Patience is the ability to keep your motor idling when you feel like stripping your gears.
