The best example for patience is the Hokulea. The Hokulea is a voyaging canoe that was built following ancient practices for canoe building. This kind of sailing ship doesn't go without wind, so some days when there's no wind the crew has to wait. The ship can only move when there's enough wind to lift them . The Hokulea has one main paddle, but that paddle is only for steering.
If I ever had to spend one night on the Hokulea I don't think I would make it even for half a day. All the way out there in the ocean, miles away from land, everything can be so unpredictible. You never know what can happen. You have to be really patient with the weather and wind. In today's world we seem to be rushing more and more. Some causes for this is the newer advanced technology that makes it convenient for us to get things quickly. Another cause may be our impatience with having to wait. For example, people stuck in traffic often get irritable and hostile to people in other cars. Remember, take your time and wait. Be patient. Enjoy the moment.
