《有人說，學英文要從有興趣的內容開始》
-偶爾跟你們分享我喜歡的-
The only reason you need patience is because you're impatient.
你會需要耐心的唯一原因是：因為你缺乏耐心。
If you are doing what you love to do every moment, what do you have to be patient about?
如果你無時無刻都在做「自己喜歡做的」事情，你還需要什麼耐心呢？
Being in the moment with whatever is happening, they don't need patience, because patience implies you're waiting for something else better to come along.
不論正在發生的是什麼都處在當下，他們不需要耐心，因為「需要耐心」意味著：你在等待其他更好的事情發生。

看別人正在做他們喜歡做的事，例如編織、例如雕刻、例如繪畫、例如做糕點…種種，會由衷佩服他們好有「耐心」。
而我看我自己，如果不是用「耐心」來描述的話，我想那會是「專注而持續」做著一件事吧。
過程不一定都是100%愉快的，因為有時候也真的滿掙扎(手指痛、腰酸背痛、突然沒靈感、沒成功的作品)
但不管用什麼樣的形容詞來「定義」別人或自己正在做的事情，都只跟「自己」有關。

patient形容詞 在 Re: [請益] 釐清單複數的用法- 看板Eng-Class 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《steven225 (留戀)》之銘言：
: 最近在寫英文的論文，不過一直被單複數困擾著；因此，
: 想在這裡尋問大家一下。
: 1.「有百分之七十六的病人能夠記住他們醫師的名字」。
: 以上這句話要寫成
: 76% of the patients were able to remember their physicians’names
: 還是
: 76% of the patients were able to remember their physician's name
their heads, not their head
their noses, not their nose
their physicians
their physicians’names
: 2.「病人的滿意度」。
: 以上這詞要寫成
: Patient satisfaction, patient's satisfcation, patients' satisfaction,
: 還是patients satisfaction
Patient satisfaction is an important and commonly used indicator for
measuring the quality in health care. Patient satisfaction affects clinical
outcomes, patient retention, and medical malpractice claims. It affects the
timely, efficient, and patient-centered delivery of quality health care.
Patient satisfaction is thus a proxy but a very effective indicator to
measure the success of doctors and hospitals. This article discusses as to
how to ensure patient satisfaction in dermatological practice.
: 3.「無論是結果A還是結果B，都大於結果C和結果D的任一個結果」。
: 以上這句話可以寫成
: Both result A and result B are larger than result C and result D嗎？
Either of result A and result B is larger
than either of result C and result D.
: 4.如果我要表達「在五個不同城鎮裡，便利商店的總數量不一樣」。
: 那我要寫成
: The number of convenience stores was different in five towns
: 還是
: The numbers of convenience stores were different in five towns
The numbers of convenience stores in five towns were different.
: 5.如果我要表達「有車子和沒車子的人是不一樣的」。
: 可以寫成
: The people with cars and without cars are different嗎？
: 另外想問「The people with cars」可以寫成「The people with a car」嗎？
: 問題有點多，如果大家願意的話，再麻煩解答一下，感謝幫忙。
The people with cars are different from those without cars.
