patience jo hai, wahi price hai dunya mein hamd aur shukr ke sath jeene ke liye. to aap price nahi denge to cheez milegi kaise aap ko? aap ko ek car khareedna hai to kya aap baghair price diye car mil jayegi aap ko? to woh to price hai, kyunke dunya mein qabt hi rahega, problem hi rahega, challenge hi rahenge, in in unbounded situation hi rahegi. achha, is ko aap badal nahi sakte, kyunke woh to Khuda ke God given yani freedom ki wajah se hai. to patience jo price hai, is price ko diye baghair aap ko kabhi bhi apne andar positive personality nahi bana payenge.

aap jab positive personality nahi bana payenge to na shukr hoga na hamd hoga. to is ke to aap ko kuch aur dhoondna hi nahi hai. is ko yeh samajh kar ada karna hai ke jo price hai, jo mujhe dena hi dena hai, jis tarah car khareedne ke liye mujhe price deni padti hai, tab mujhe car milti hai. aise hi price yahan bhi ek muamla hai. patience ki price to deni hi padegi. is ka koi doosra shortcut nahi hai.
