Patience is to a large extent a kind of tempering of will. In the words of modern people, it means "being able to endure poverty and loneliness." Being able to calm down in the face of the complicated and confusing things in the world, patiently observe things, study the laws of things, and quietly practice the knowledge learned, your intelligence will naturally increase. This is the embodiment of "hard work pays off". Let me ask you: Those people who are impatient, eager for success, and so ambitious cannot calm down, how can they increase their intelligence?
