One of the good point about Gandhi Ji was that his mind was restless. He always tried something new, he never was contented with his present. He never thought once in his life that he is settled, at peace and satisfied. I think this is one of the many reasons that he was a great person. He never tried to hide his mistakes/faults. He denied primary education to his children, his elder son was very unhappy with him for this. Unfortunately, this was also one of his experiment with life. But many of his other experiments like cleanliness, ahinsa were globally appreciated and accepted. So, don't stop yourself from experimenting, just because of the fear of failing or non-acceptance by society. I agree there is risk, but risk is there in anything and everything in life, the only difference is our faith in the outcome. We are generally happy in taking those calculative risk, where the results are more or less favorable. Challenging yourself is the best thing a person can do all his life. It also enhances the learning, knowledge, and wisdom of a person. Its quite easy to get into a comfort zone, which also means reducing the challenges and risks. It is obvious that it will be a 'good feeling' zone, but it definitely leads to a stagnant and dull life.
A person who seems impatient at work front might be very patient in his personal and family life. The way one displays his virtue at any particular point of time or place all depends on the situation, his mental strength and his experiences. If a person is left with no other choice but to show patience, then he ends up being patient. But, if you have options then definitely you will react or display the attitude that is easily reachable and not the one which is hard to show. In earlier days, great living principles were attained by very few people. For more than 90% of the population, the aim in life was to earn bread and live healthy and disease-free. Only a few were there with zeal and enthusiasm to make their life useful and achieve something. But, if we look around us, one will find persons with courage/endurance/patience and other great abilities in them. But, many times they feel it is redundant to show them, and in some cases, they don't realize their posse...
