Patience

4. What is it that makes you feel impatient?

答案:

I tend to feel impatient when I’m stuck in traffic or waiting in long lines. It’s frustrating, especially when I have plans or deadlines to meet. I’ve learned that taking deep breaths and listening to music can help me stay calm during these moments. It reminds me that some things are beyond my control.
