“How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you get a deep cut on your leg. It doesn’t get better right away; it takes time to heal slowly, step by step. The same idea applies to life. If someone can't wait and wants everything to get better instantly, they will struggle. Patience is like giving that cut time to heal. Without it, you won't see the good results that come from waiting. For example, if you're learning a new skill like playing the piano, you must practice over many days to get better. Trying to rush it won't make you a great player overnight. By being patient, you allow yourself to grow and improve gradually, just like how wounds heal over time.
