PATIENCE
A Wise Policy
PATIENCE is neither a passive attitude nor any kind of inaction. According to the Quran, patience is a superior action. Patience means wisdom-based thinking. It means planning your strategy, assessing your resources and taking into consideration the relevant natural factors. That is right planning. If impatience is the result of unwise thinking, patience is the result of wise thinking. That is the secret of life and also the secret of wise planning.
You cannot fight against nature, so you cannot afford the luxury of being impatient. Impatience means trying to achieve things on a unilateral basis. But that is impossible. On the other hand, having patience means doing things on a bilateral basis. And it is a fact that, in our world, unilateralism is an unrealistic approach, while bilateralism is entirely a wise approach.

The policy of wait and see is the best policy in this world and it is this policy that is called patience. Impatience means: Don’t wait, but jump into the situation without thinking about the consequences. The wait and see policy is the only wise policy in this world of competition and challenge.
Every goal needs wise planning, for it is wise planning that leads to real success. And wise planning is that in which considerations other than your emotions have been taken into account.
