This applies to patience and VLDI:


The saying – “patience is a virtue” comes from the poem called Piers Plowman, created in 1360 – 1387. The original author of the quote is William Langland.

Patience may have been a virtue back in the 14th century, when there was no smartphones, internet, planes, email and so on. But not so much today.

I’d even go as far to say that patience was never a virtue. At least not by its self (like a lot of people believe).

Why patience is NOT a virtue
It’s true that patience can pay off, but the whole interpretation behind the saying is false.

Most people interpret the “patience is a virtue” quote as the longer you wait, the luckier you’ll get. But waiting doesn’t get you anything. It just gets you more waiting. (VLDI 18 years of waiting)


Have you ever met somebody who wants to start a business, but they never get around to it?
Have you ever met someone who applies for a job, then WAITS patiently for a response?
Have you ever met someone who’s said something like – “I’ll just wait around and be patient, no sense in rushing”?
Have you ever met someone who’s waited around for months for an opportunity to come to them, instead of them creating the opportunity themselves?

In all 4 of these scenarios, the person is playing the waiting game. They’re being patient, sitting still, and expecting something to happen or fall on their lap.

That’s not how the world works. Nothing comes to you if you’re waiting for it. Nope. You have to get off your ass, move, and go and get it for yourself.

Instead of waiting for one employer to get back to you, why don’t you get back to them?
Instead of waiting for “God” to answer your prayers, why not put in the work to make your prayers a reality?
Instead of playing the lottery and “waiting” to get rich, why not learn HOW to create riches for yourself?
Instead of waiting to be paid by your employer, why not learn how to pay yourself?
Instead of waiting for readers to find your new “blog”, why not seek them out yourself?

And some of us interpret the “patience is a virtue” quote as – “good things come to those who wait”.

But good things NEVER come to those who wait. Good things come to those who take action! Being patience with VLDI is simply an excuse for not selling due to non performance!
