Patience

Yep. Virtue and all that.Patience has a limit.You can't be patient forever and expect something different to happen a long way into things. I know that past performance isn't indicative of future results, but after a while a trend starts appearing.Patience.In another way, you can look at like this this quote:

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

- W. C. Fields

You can't try the patience route forever. Eventually you become the damn fool.
