Like a proverb says [As a proverb says/an old saying puts], a coin has two sides, so [informal, try to replace it with "thus" etc.] it is not easy to [be] agree or disagree with the statement "patience is usually not a good strategy." However, in my opinion, patience is a good quality only if it [is] a[n] efficient patience [patience is good/acceptable/reasonable etc. only when it brings about efficiency]. I will explain my argument [specify my explanations] in the following part from two aspects:
First of all, [being patient] patience does [not] mean [that] we do nothing but [,just] sitting and waiting for the solution, but [it rather] means [that] we give ourselves more time to do some intellectual works before acting [to prepare for actions intellectually/mentally]. Before taking action, we should ask good questions by understanding the [why 'the'? Did you mention a problem already?] problem and situation, if we urge ourselves to take action fast['urge' somewaht overlaps with 'want to do sth fast'] while making a long term strategy [Do you mean 'planning'?], the result will not be satisfied [result cannot be 'satisfied', it may be 'satisfying'] because of lake [the lack] of good consideration[I guess what you mean here is 'thorough consideration'].
Secondly, patience is also a great quality [same problem, see above] when we communicate with others. Maintaining a good relationship is a key to run things well [make things smooth] in all fields: [in] business, [in] family, [in] study and even [in] love relationship ['a relationship' is sufficient for what you want to say]. And communication needs [requires] patience, especially when you have [get together with/hang out with/hang around with] someone who comes from a totally different background of yours. If you have to go throw [go through? Do you want to say: work with a partner on a project?] a strategy with a partner, it [is] better to have his or her understanding [have yourself understood]. Furthermore, being patience [patient] with others shows your respect to others[them], that will make the cooperation possible [Without this precondition, any cooperation is impossible].
Some people will say that efficiency is important in daily life, that [is the reason] why they do [not] want to wast[e] their time in being patient[that is the reason why they consider patience a waste of time]. But patience is [not] the opposite of efficiency [patience and efficiency are not mutually exclusive], by [the] contrast, patience helps us to get [the] job [well] done [successfully] as far as the patience is efficient [patience buys one efficiency]: if we have paid enough patience but things just can't turn well, we are better off giving up and move forward[Do you want to say: "we'd better give up and move on"?], after all, what deserve to be waited indefinitely in our lives [is there anything that deserves an endless wait in our life]? |
