  Patient
  
  Society today moves as a fast pace than it did many years ago. Our culture of “NOW!” makes you feel anything that is now achieved “Now!” is a failure and you should just give up. But mentally strong people have the ability to wait, they know that there would be a fight another day, and then they would win, so they are patient even after falling or failing, they take their time and prepare until another day. This also toughens them to be better and learn from their mistakes and with more experiences comes with more ways to tackle a problem. Patient people know this, so they wait, waiting for their turn and then they cease it.
