We had more patience. More patience. We were perfect for the season and today's rhythm. Things were done slowly and carefully. With intention and grace they were called "pride of craftsmen", but our hands were used to make beautiful things that tried time.

If you are reading this, you may have the greatest stress and frustration while waiting for the website to load, or holding the phone through an infinitely automated prompt there is. That is today's fact. The delay tolerance is very short. The other best I know about this tendency is that this frustration is most noticeable among children, watching the mothers and fathers thrust in after birth. Today's children grew up without waiting anything. And it is expected that all the whims will be offered again.
They do not have to wait months to save the entire nickel for the Saturday movie show. They do not have to wait for Mom and Dad to take to the video store on Friday night to rent a movie. They do not have to wait five days for mail to arrive in the new movie. Just click on the button to get the movie instantly via Netflix. It is interested in a method called "on demand". And we grow up asking for things ... now!
Computer science professor Ramesh Sitaraman of University of Massachusetts at Amherst University studied the viewing habits of 6.7 million Internet users. This survey was about the audience's patience. How hard will the subjects be patient? The answer is two seconds. "Then they started abandoning," Sitaraman said. "The abandonment rate will be 25% after 5 seconds, it will be halved at 10 seconds." Yeah, as necessary.
My sister recently took her daughter to Orlando's Walt Disney World. I was surprised to hear it provides a special pass, so you do not have to wait on the line. "Fastpass is an innovative guest enhancement at Walt Disney World Resort that allows guests to wait for the most popular attraction rows. Now we all have to wait without waiting I remember returning to Disneyland in 1975. The waiting was part of the feeling of surprise I was waiting for.The family discussed this time with each other and the discussion was a fairy tale, It was about our family vacation, what we were planning for the rest of the summer, it was hot, we were patient, but impatience was exciting and part of experience.When it was It was premonition.
Wikipedia defines it like this. "Expectations or enthusiasm are emotions with joy, excitement, sometimes anxiety in thinking about good events that are expected or longing for.
Perseverance has all the other "moods", but "difficulty: there is patience, lack of patience, restlessness, laziness is not forgiving, anxiety and enthusiasm.
The impatience is always in the menu. We are not waiting for anything, but the bad thing is that you are waiting for being angry rather than waiting to be filled with joy. Our culture is getting very fast, literally moving people. Always bustling and lively, we skip quickly to the next one. We rush through the conversation and have a response limited to a letter only: OMG, LOL, K. We speed up each other on the highway, one by hand and the other by me We endanger our lives and the lives around us that do not want to know what we know.
When our pace is fast, constantly shocking the culture that can be enjoyed instantly, ringing push notifications, ringing the phone, selecting 24 hours 365 days of communication, relationships and exchanges with people are constantly interrupted and suspended I will. As a result, we become low consumer of information, not taking the whole story but taking a healthy biting taste. The sad fact is that there is little time for the whole story. There are too many things!
Recent Boston Globe articles: Darrell Worthy, assistant professor of psychology at Texas A & M University who studies decision making and motivation has already found evidence of fear. As an Angry Birds game on iPhone - more than books and magazines. Researchers have discovered that rapid progress in technology leads to more prudent thinking, "The trend is linked to the future that most people are shallow consumers of information.
"There are lots of really valuable things, but immediate satisfaction is the default response, overcoming such impulses, being patient, patiently waiting for time to pass is difficult."
Our family:
We had time with each other. While my father was playing music, when my mother sewed and repaired, I sat down and worked together sitting in the field. We sat on the table together and prepared the food together. I was always conscious of the possibility of shortage due to bad weather. We said our blessings with every meal. Corn meal and bean stew. There is a tendency of family housework, families are run as a unit and depend heavily on each other like wheel gears. On Sunday, we went to church wearing the best clothes. It is bigger than us, that is God we praised. And we will picnic in the river with other members of the area and share our best pie and savings with our neighbors. We will talk about what each person needs, organize them to help each other, and look at each other as a major extension of the family.
The children were not confused and not corrupted. They were treated as a useful and important member of the community where they worked their shares, and once they had the right of freedom after housework was over. They knew exactly what they would like to do in the world and how they could contribute early in the age of 9, 10, 11, and they knew about the plan with their parents at an early date. Sitting on an independent long walk or a familiar fishing spot, free time was spent discovering. There was time to think, time to breathe, time to dream, time to dream. Just getting a book like Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Farmer Boy" or "Little Prairie On The Prairie" will give you a glimpse of the family life just 150 years ago.
My belief is that we are firmly aware of family time and need to adopt a strict "pre-technical person" policy. This means the time of a specific phone and computer, and turns off the device so that it is not actually interrupted.
Our food:
There was no grocery store and fast food driving during the pioneer era. The shop of the day called "business" carries only the most fundamental things that focused more on necessary tools such as tools and cloths, and was one of the few. Families had to plan a few months at a time and prepare food to feed in harsh winter. They needed to have a grocery store in case bad weather destroyed the crops and literally put them in debt for food for 6 to 8 months. When food becomes abundant, we can dry food, and we are conscious of a difficult time at all times. The flesh was killed for hunting and once killed it started only by preparing for storage. They cut the animal into the skin, remove the interior, and cut it into a large piece that had to be rubbed with salt to preserve it for a long time. Do not forget that they were not convenient to put in the freezer. After their efforts, the meat often gets worse and can not be eaten even if it wash well.
I do not think much about our food today, but it is natural that fast food, restaurants and supermarkets are everywhere. We expect that they are the most versatile of their taste buds dreaming of and they will be filled with rims. When we go to market and they are out of certain foods, we appeal and act as if this is the greatest anger. We flourish until death in greedy insanity without too much consideration how our foods are produced, harvested and prepared. (Obesity causes premature death, which, historically, has a child's life expectancy less than that of us).
My belief is that we need to devote time to homes and firewood stores. I mean a conscious effort to teach the children where food comes and how valuable it is. Please shop for the local farmer market, cook for the weekend, enjoy the family meal, and aim not to eat "fast food" for 3 days.
Our communication:
We talked with handwritten letters. I have a letter box written in the first pen pal, a friend of summer camp, my first love. They are a souvenir, they talk about my life story and what I have experienced seeing the world. They are carefully wrapped to protect them and are kept with my mother's letter and my grandmother's letter. When they unwrap and read, they tell the story, the story of our family.
I left Saint Joseph, Missouri on April 3, 1860 and arrived in San Francisco, California on April 14. A letter traveling a 1,900-mile route arrived in 10 days. It was impossible. The route was dangerous and many riders were robbed and killed. Even advertisements they wanted were seeking "young and thin girls over 18". You must be a skilled person and you risk dying every day. The rider received $ 25 a week as a wage. A wage equivalent to premature workers then was about 0.43 - $ 1 per day. Yes, sending your letter within two weeks was hard. All the letters written now have disappeared into the history archive.
Seriously, think about that. How many letters do you compare with emails, posts, or tweets? While I was doing some research on future books, I found this:
"In today's rapidly changing culture, communication with your child is more important than ever, please communicate with your child through current technology such as text messages and e-mail.
I confess and made my hair stand last. Who are these children? Are they someone else? Why are they "guarding"? In fact, we teach them different communication, exchange is often shallow and wonderful. Just by watching Facebook, people need to think whether they think they are saving the world when they click "like", or whether there is a difference.
In fact, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is known for the instant culture he founded. "Move Fast and Break Things" The wrist of San Luis Post Dispatcher has Facebook absorbing Silver Valley hacker Evo and amplifying it. Facebook handles 2.7 billion pictures every day, uploads 300 million photographs, updates and checks in 2.5 billion statuses and checks in, and uses a myriad of other data and uses that advertisement Large transactions to guess.
How can you handle such information at a deeper level? The whole media is wonderful, breaking through the pattern of building real human relationships. Social media is not a real social connection or a substitute for the community.
"The environment demands that we be the first one, a huge move in the world is about to destroy us.We also already know that nuclear power is not an option The way to maintain the best condition half a century ago is the romance of the actual experience, not the community, simple housing, media.In order to promote toxicity, to capture convenience, take it To steal, to corruption, to my world,

Our work:
A typical American workplace is not cut out for obviously stressful, slow life. Most people work for the company and the company's goal is to maximize profits. Their needs are to ensure that everything runs like a machine that is well oiled. They will not pay you to go at their own pace, they will speed you up at your pace and pay you to move. Provide services to Board members, investors, owners, and usually you are their last priority.
If you are a member of the labor force, the company does not care if you get sick, if you have to be with a friend in the hospital, or if the car breaks down. It is not time consuming for the funeral of your loved one and you need to spend time talking with your child. I also want to stay in bed with a really bad convulsion. The company expects you to spend your time by coming to work. They make it very clear that if you can not, you immediately replace you with someone else. They need a man in the position where you are hired, and if you are not there, another number will soon go to you. If you want to earn more money, or want to get a promotion, you need to come early to get up early, late, lunch, dedication. You essentially have to forget all the needs of your personal life. They are necessary requirements if you want to evolve your career. This is because the company is an artifact created instantaneously, efficiently and reliably.
"Recently, immediate satisfaction is too long."
~ Carrie Fisher, an actress
Our soul:
The momentary satisfaction of the world today does not feed the merit of patience, but all religious teachings make it the best.
In Buddism, perseverance is one of the "perfection" (paramita) of practice for the Bodhisattva to train and realize perfect enlightenment (body).
The patience of Muslims is the most valuable worth in life. With patience, Muslims believe that individuals can approach God and gain true peace.
In Christian religion, patience is one of the most precious virtues of life. Being patient will be regarded as the work of the Christian 's Holy Spirit who accepted the gift of salvation.
In Judaism, perseverance and toughness are prominent themes. Talmud praises patience as an important personal characteristic. For example, Mika's story is to endure while suffering many difficult situations, saying "God to save me is waiting". God's perseverance will help the believer to find the power to be saved from evil inherent in physical life.
Our wiring:
It is also interesting to immediately satisfy our desires from a scientific point of view. In 2005, a study involving common marmosets and cotton top tamarins was conducted. This study was based on a self-regulating paradigm in which individual animals must choose either to take small rewards immediately or to wait for variable time to obtain greater rewards.
Under these conditions, marmoset waited for food significantly longer than tamarin.
I can not explain this difference depending on life history, social behavior, size of the brain. However, while tamarins feed on insects, ie foods that require impulsive behavior, you can explain by eating ecology: easy to gum marmoset, tree exudate Wait for the relevant food to wait. In this case, eating ecosystem food will provide selective pressure for evolution of self control.
Our health:
Life under unnatural time pressure causes countless diseases of psychological, social, and physical.
At the Mayo Clinic, I write as follows. "Your body is hard-wired to react to stress, meaning to protect you from threats from carnivores and other attackers, please take care of your family to take care.
In her new book 'Eco Therapy: Natural Healing', Linda Buzzell says "Many years ago, humans moved naturally at the natural pace, like animals and plants on the earth, human beings, A cycle of animals, plant life cycle, and a more spectacular cycle of the moon and other celestial bodies.
Carl Honore, an award-winning journalist, author and TED speaker, says, "It is imperative to maintain your ideal speed in fast talkers, fast drivers, fast tender worlds.
