Patience: What If You Waited?

Balthasar Gracian advised: “Wait. It's a sign of a noble heart dowered with patience, never to be in a hurry, never to be in a passion.”
In his book The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene tells us that waiting is not a passive phase. We need to be alert as we “anticipate twists and turns” so that we “never miss the boat.” Greene pointed out that patience is worthless unless it ends at some moment when we execute a plan with speed and absolutely no hesitation.
