I'm not patient. It's a fact and I admit it freely. But, what I lack in patience I make up in persistence, which is just a polite way of saying, - - - I'm stubborn. Here's an example:
I really don't have much understanding of how to design a web page, and I know I'm cheating by using the template from Google Sites, but I want to have one. So, I start out filling in the blanks, and it isn't long until I run into a problem.
Now a patient person would stop, research the problem, read how-to materials, and slowly build the web page, step by step. Not me. No, I have to click, undo, type, backup, rewrite, lose the page, squint my eyes, make my fingers and back ache, and curse the computer until I make some visible progress or until my husband drags me out of the desk chair and restrains me in my recliner.
Stubbornness is one of my best character features. I have managed to do most of what I have accomplished just because I was not going to let some expletive (thing) get the better of me. I'm going to do it, or go down fighting. I thought aging would mellow me, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Well. maybe a little. I haven't had to be retrained in my recliner for some time now.
Nonetheless, I am happy to report, I have made good progress on my webpage, and my stubbornness will continue to help me develop my site more.
