Patience vs. Persitence

"No road is too long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry, and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it." - Jean de La Bruyere 

Patience has never been a virtue of mine. That's no secret to anyone that's known me for longer than 5 minutes.  

Persistence, however, is. 

I'm very decisive and once I've set my mind on something I am very driven and will stop at nothing to attain it. 

Having been raised this way, it drives me absolutely insane when all I have to do is sit and wait for something to happen. I honestly can't give a single example in my life where I've just waited for something. 

I suppose it's never too late to learn a few new virtues.

Or maybe not.

I'd rather just tighten the ropes and make it happen.
