The very important thing you should have is patience.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union, it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She's made this experience much less miserable for me, with her compassion, patience and understanding.

Patience has never been my strong suit.

Constant repetition of tongue-twisters was like lifting weights for me, but patience and persistence have paid off.
