Patience is a virtue

I’ d like metformin 500 mg 500 tablets to share this video which Junelle shared in plurk. It’s the best video I’ve seen on YouTube. A short one, yet powerful – True indeed, patience is a virtue.

Just as what the 6th Commandment says, Honor your father and mother. Try to understand and be patient with them. Show them love, show them respect.

My parents are always supportive of whatever I do. I can never repay them with the things they have provided me. Those are immeasurable things; things that are given out of love. And the best way to repay them is by showing them love and respect to the best I can. Courteous respect for my parents is one thing I believe I should always give. Why? Because respect is the key to harmony, love and happiness.

Even though sometimes I have misunderstandings with them, my mom in particular, it doesn’t change the fact that I will always need them. Without them, I wouldn’t exist. When my mom and I get into an argument I try my best to answer her in the nicest way I could think of :p. I don’t shout, I don’t raise my voice. Because I know at her age, she could really be sensitive. Sometimes when I feel like we’re going to be arguing about something, I walk away and come back later to iron out things. I stay away from trouble or I talk to her in a calm way. Those are the best solutions I can come up with. I maintain my cool because I don’t want to say something I might regret in the end.

I was talking to my mom earlier after I showed her the vid and she said, “As people grow old the younger ones must learn to be patient and understand them. I hope you and your sisters will give the same love and respect I showed my parents.” Then I answered back giving her a pat on the shoulder, “Yeah mum, I’ll keep telling you it’s a sparrow without losing my patience.”

Like what I said, they (parents and elders) can be super sensitive. Learn to be patient with them. They have been patient with you since you were born, why not do the same thing as they age? Parents are given by God to guide us and mold us into better people. Sometimes they keep reminding you of your wrongdoings, your faults and mistakes. I know it could be depressing and annoying listening to them enumerating all your faults. But on the other hand, the mistakes we did will remind us not to do it again. It reminds us of the lessons we learned and be more careful of what we do. At the end of the day, maintain that respect towards them. Keep it intact. Awful words can leave deep scars, you know, forever etched on their hearts and minds.

“The best thing to give to your to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to your child, a good example; to yourself, respect.”
