Someone on a website mentioned she liked learning R' Zelig Pliskin's books on
marriage with her husband, but the library had this R' Pliskin book too so I took it home.
Um I have no patience. I barely had the patience to read this book and only finished for
some self righteous reason. I learned that I am even more impatient than I thought from
some of the examples pointed out in this book. Also I became aware of ways children and husband are impatient and I made sure to point these instances out to them and gave
them examples of how to improve. Basically impatience is the cause of everything
horrible in your life. It causes anger, frustration, tension, failure to succeed, etc. You have
to work on your patience even when you are not impatient. I also started noticing patient
people around me and how patient their children were. Okay I noticed one person and his
son waiting for a haircut at the barber. The ways to work on patience sound
incredibly boring.
