“Patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can. Seldom found in women. Never in a man!”
This is one of my mothers most quoted expressions. Having heard it as a child, it’s stuck with me through thick and thin.
As I was tinkering with bits of website code yesterday after having nothing like enough sleep (completely self inflicted so don’t give it another thought!)

However, for our 1 minute motivator today I’d love you to encourage you to appreciate what patience and persistence you already have. According to my mum’s maxim, chances are it’s in small supply Therefore, I’d also encourage you to practice.

I remember hearing a story of a lady who prayed and asked God to give her patience. A little while later she was sat in a cafe moaning about her husband. A man spoke with her and suggested that rather than zapping her with a never-ending supply of patience, perhaps God would instead supply her with the opportunities to practice being patient. Works for me

I meant about men being incapable of patience.
