The Patience Principle

For the past 3 weeks of holiday, i have been reading the book 'Winning with People' by John C. Maxwell. I would like to share a short story he written in this book. I think it is quite meaningful.

A young woman's car stalled at a stoplight. She tried and tried to get it started, but had no luck whatsoever. The light turns green, and there she sat, angry and embarrassed, holding up traffic. The car behind her could have gone around, but instead the driver added to her frustration by laying on his horn.
After another desperate attempt to get the car started, she got out and walked back to the other car. The man rolled down his window in surprise.
"Tell you what," she said. " You go start my car, and I'll sit back here and honk the horn for you."

The next time we are feeling impatient with someone who is slowing you down, think about this story...
