【简答题】
阅读理解。 The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self.The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. You are easily annoyed and bothered. Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life. It's important for inner peace. Becomingmore patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don't like it. If you are stuckin a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mentalsnowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, beinglate is "small stuff". Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way thatI have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods-periods of time that I set up inmy mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. Youcan start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you'll discoveris truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it's only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those qualities where success feeds on itself. Onceyou reach little milestone-five minutes of successful patience-you'll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person. Being patient will help you to keep your perspective (洞察力). You will see even a difficult situation, sayyour present challenge, isn't "life or death" but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with.
