1. Silence - Sometimes people may need space and independance to handle their own problems. Trying to force people to express their feelings when they are not ready may lead to disaster. We should learn to respect people if they are not willing to tell us the things that are bothering them, but at the same time, show them that we care and support them whether they want to tell us of their problems or not.
2. Patience - In this instanteous world, all of us are losing this virtue in our lives. We want everything to be quick and instant. We want our MSN messages to be answered instantly or else we will 'nudge' the other person for a response. We expect SMSs to be answered quickly too, or else we will ring the person straight away for a response. We lose patience with people as well, as there are more opportunities for us to meet new people.
3. Competititon - Are we competing with others without realising this is the case? Do we compare what we do with what others have done, such as comparing a church function this year with the same function last year organised by a differnet person? Do we strive to win and beat our opponents, even in such things as a simple game of pool or simple board games? Are we competing with each other in terms of our life stages such as timing of marraige and having babies? Maybe thats a reflection of the society we live in - all of us are born to compete to be distinct among others - in the same way that ancient Greeks strive for 'honour' in their short life.
4. Talk - Everyone can talk, but will they action? Its easy to say things. Its easy to blame others. But do we 'walk the talk'? We seem to have a different standards for ourselves (full of excuses) than others (no mercy shown).

talk is the start of action
but before action can be made, we must plan. some people plan in silience, waiting patiently for the right time to come when their plan can suceed
after all
