Having Patience

I figure anyone is good at having
patience has to be an extraordinary
person too. Not always an easy
thing to have that is for sure.

I am not sure  patience is considered

a gift however it really should be

in my book. 

Most of the time I have patience but

now and then not so much for sure.

Those who exceed at a sport whether

they played  in high school or even

went further in college and professional

have to be very good at patience.

The two sports you have to be patient

to succeed is baseball and golf. Without

patience in baseball and golf you won't

have success. 

I know hitters who come up to the major

leagues in baseball have to learn to have

patience to hit the ball consistently. You

are facing pitchers throwing almost 100

miles per hour plus having other pitches

that are hard to handle as well.

For the hitter they to wait for the right

ball to hit which is often a mistake made

by the pitcher. Many games the scoring

happens early on because it sometimes

takes the starting pitcher to get into their

grove. 

I haven't seen a lot of golf or played it

for that matter. I expect the first stroke

is the most important to setup the rest

to put the ball in the hole. When having

success to get the ball on the green it

can be exciting or disappointing putting

it in the hole. The ball can look like it 

will go right in and at the last second

will pop out. 

To learn to have patience going out and

hitting some baseballs or golf balls would

be good exercise. Whether patience is

defined as a gift I certainly think it is.
