　　當飛機在機場上空繞圈的時候，所有人都覺得出事兒了。飛機在空中不平穩(wěn)地飛行著，盡管乘客們都已經(jīng)系好安全帶，他們還是被突然向前拋去。就在那一刻，空中小姐出現(xiàn)了。她雖看上去臉色十分蒼白，但相當鎮(zhèn)定。她快速卻幾近耳語地通知所有乘客飛行員暈倒了，并詢問有誰知道一些機械知識或至少懂得開車。一陣猶豫之后，一位男子起身跟隨空中小姐進入駕駛室。在把飛行員挪到一邊后，這個人坐到飛行員的座位上，認真聽發(fā)自下面機場通過無線電發(fā)出的緊急指令。此時，飛機已危險地接近地面了。讓人欣慰的是，飛機很快開始向上攀升。男子必須繞著機場幾圈以熟悉飛機的控制。但危險還沒有過去。糟糕是他必須讓飛機著陸。這個人遵照質(zhì)量，駕駛飛機朝機場飛去。飛機著陸是晃動得很厲害，它沿著跑道滑行了很長一段距離后，安全地停下來了。

　　耐心在塑造一個更平和更有愛心的自我中有著重要的作用。你越有耐心，你會安于現(xiàn)狀而非持著于生活應與你想象的一致。沒有耐心的話，生活會讓人極度沮喪。你則易怒而煩惱不斷。耐心給你的生活加入從容和寬容的特質(zhì)。而這對于內(nèi)心的平靜是不可或缺的。變得更有耐心意味著即使你不樂意也要對現(xiàn)狀釋懷。如果你被困于交通堵塞之中，釋懷就意味著在你的思緒失控之前逐步地提醒自己去放松。同時，這也是個松口氣的好機會，提醒自己遲到乃小事一樁。

　　Being patient will help you to see things in their right 16A . You’ll see even a difficult situation, 17B your present challenge, isn’t “l(fā)ife or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. 18C you’re needing to 19C children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation, 20C your patience level is a great way to start.

　　耐心能幫助你以正確的角度看待事物。你對困境的態(tài)度也將不一樣。例如你現(xiàn)在所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)將不再是“生死難關”而是必須處理掉的小小障礙。無論你面對的是你的孩子們、你的上司還是一個難相處的人或難以解決的狀況，提高你的忍耐度都將是一個好的開端。
