Exercising Patience

I found myself needing to exercise patience on several occasions today. As a teacher this comes with the territory. But several decades into the job I still need occasionally to force myself to do so. Over time it gets easier. But, in my case, it's rarely easy. Hence the need for 'exercise'. Those who think of patience as a kind of passive virtue are massively missing the point. (Or maybe they're naturally good at it? I know I'm not.)
