In the chapter about patience (named 'Staying on the Bus'), he penned down the three rules of thumb for skillfully using the power of patience. Those are -
Develop a taste of having problems - The state of having no problems is never going to arrive. The definition of 'problem' is simply that it is something that demands your attention. "The presence of a problem in your life isn't an impediment to a meaningful existence but the very substance to the one."
Embrace radical incrementalism - Taking the initiative to incorporate a routine and do a part of a task daily on a consistent basis is proved to be the most productive and successful aspect of any endeavor. This way patience for the desired work to be completed stays off longer.
Originality lies on the far side of unoriginality - "Nothing you produce ever gets recognized as being truly your own" if you keep comparing to others' roadmap where they have been. The superiors ahead were once where you are right now, embrace it, not fear and go back and start hustling again. A little further out as time passes, you're unique in your own, and that's where the distinctive work begins. But only to those who had to muster the patience enough to immerse themselves at the beginning of the earlier stage.
Patience isn't merely a more peaceful and present-oriented way to live but concretely a useful skill.
