What is the meaning of patience?

Of course, the longer a business deal or transaction takes, the more likely it is that someone is going to complain about it. If they haven’t complained yet, even after taking up a lot of their time, you should thank them for the patience they’re showing.

This is uncomfortable at first, because you have to recognize that things aren’t going your way.
