One day a grandfather was advising his grandson, who was going to join the army. He said: 

“son you got a job in the army but I have been working in the army for a long time. So, I want to give you a suggestion. Would you follow my suggestion?”

The boy said very politely: “why not grandfather definitely I will”. 

The old man said: “in the army job you would need to behave very patience many things you might not like but never lose patience. This is the single piece of advice I wanted to give you”.

The boy said with the same politeness, “Yes grandfather I will keep remembering your advice”.

The next day, the old man thought he should again recall his advice to his grandson. 

So that, it could fit in his memory so he called his grandson and said: “tomorrow you are going to join your duty in the army so do you remember my advice that in the army job you would have to be patient”.

His grandson said: “yes grandfather I know that”.

The next day when the grandson was packing his luggage to go to join the job. His grandfather who was loving him very much could not stop himself because he had an experience of around forty years in the army and knew very well that many candidates create more problems for themselves only because of a lack of patience. So, again he thought it would be reasonable to repeat his advice. 

So, he said to his grandson, “my dear son, you should remember very well that while doing your duty in the army The most important weapon for you would be your patience. So, never lose patience”.

This time his grandson got frustrated and angrily spoke to his grandfather, “For three days you are repeating the same thing what’s wrong with your grandfather? I know, I would have to be patient”. His grandfather immediately said: “but you are not. I said to keep patience but you lost your patience only three times”.
