“Patience is a superpower because it gives you the ability to pause, reflect and then respond, rather than react as per your habitual (and often ill-serving) patterns.”
Scott Walker, Order Out of Chaos: A Kidnap Negotiator's Guide to Influence and Persuasion

“The ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus said: ‘Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.”
Scott Walker, Order Out of Chaos: A Kidnap Negotiator's Guide to Influence and Persuasion

“Patience is a superpower because it gives you the ability to pause, reflect and then respond, rather than react as per your habitual (and often ill-serving) patterns. It develops clarity of thought, which enables you to bring laser focus to the problem rather than the symptoms. This then gives you the opportunity to come up with an effective solution to any challenge in your daily life,”
