Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. – Unknown
That is the real question of life? “Who are you?” It’s hard to know in the quiet times. It is only when things get rough that we really find out who we are.
The quote singles out two specific situations for consideration. The first one is how patient you can be when you have nothing. How patiently can you wait for things you need? Do you get agitated?
The second situation in the quote is what your attitude is when you have everything. When you have everything, you need nothing, and by extension, no one. How you treat people when you don’t have any need to be kind or helpful. Will you be nice?
