Lesson of patience

Việt Văn |

Every time Tet comes, along with the bustling atmosphere of family reunion, people's hearts are burdened with a constant worry: Tet traffic. Crowds of people travel from the city to their hometowns, jostling on buses. On long, winding roads, the flow of vehicles follows one another, creating a scene that is both familiar and suffocating. How to make the journey home safe and complete while still having enough time to shop for Tet and celebrate Tet with family. That is everyone's concern.

Traffic during Tet teaches us a valuable lesson about patience. On that journey, if we rush and rush, the consequences are unpredictable. A rush to run a red light, a speeding on a crowded road, not only means a high fine, having your vehicle impounded or your license revoked, but also the safety of yourself and those around you.

The silver-haired painter, as usual, reminded his old friend - the young architect before he went back to his hometown by his own car. To prepare and check the car carefully before going, to calculate the travel time, so that even if there is a traffic jam, it will not be as bad as during rush hour. And more than that, to calculate a reasonable route to both save time and reduce traffic pressure at hot spots.

The old artist chuckled and added: The journey before Tet is also a journey of emotions. The moments of waiting in the crowded traffic are also the moments when we can remind ourselves of calmness, the importance of safety and more importantly, practice patience. And who knows, it is while waiting in traffic jams that good ideas appear. The artist who thought of the heart icon to replace the word love in the sentence I love New York was stuck in traffic jams.

The architect nodded, seemingly understanding: I agree with you, patience is the biggest lesson on the road before Tet. Because being impatient won't do anything, it will only make you feel worse, and you might even pay a high price. In the past, when I was a kid, I learned photography as a side job, and my dad's old artist friend taught me less about photography and more about grading and editing photos.

At that time, I felt frustrated and bored, but that time taught me to be meticulous and patient. Later, I no longer felt impatient in many situations such as when my salary was delayed due to the irresponsibility of the finance department, or when my boss forgot my efforts in the company's project, or my girlfriend forgot my birthday. Patience always has its rewards, right?
