Patience

Essential Question:What is patience and

what are its opposites?

Patience

Patience is quiet hope and trust that things will turn out right. You wait without complaining. You are tolerant and accepting of difficulties and mistakes. You picture the end in the beginning and persevere to meet your goals. Patience is a commitment to the future.

© 2002 Virtues Project International Inc.

Patience is when you . . .

Calmly tolerate a delay or confusion

Are willing to wait for things you want

Set goals and persevere until they are met

Do something now that will help you in the future

Accept things you cannot change with humor and grace

Are tolerant when mistakes are made


Affirmation

I am patient.I am gentle with others and myself

when we make mistakes.I wait calmly.

I trust that things will turn out right.

Patience IPatience is waiting.

Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going

when the going is hard and slow—that is

patience.

Chapters 17-19 Review

1. What problem do we discover in Kashmir because of the fighting between Pakistan and India? What needs must be met? What does Greg do to meet them?

Fighting caused some 2,000 people living in Kashmir to flee to Skardu. A refugee tent camp was set up, but the people had many needs. Some of these were water, food, medicine and education (110). CAI drilled down 120 feet to create a well (107-110).


2. Explain how Greg practiced patience, or its opposites, during the Kashmir crisis. Greg practiced patience by not being indifferent to the refugee’s needs. He cared about their needs. He was calm, but active, and used money from CAI to pay for equipment and supplies to create a well (110).


3. Describe the effectiveness of Greg’s talks to raise funds for the work of CAI.

Greg’s success to raise money for CAI began slow, but soon gained a lot of attention. Mountain climbers were strong supporters and his story began to appear in newspapers and magazines. At some venues people were turned away because there was not enough seats (115).


4. Some people who worked for CAI became frustrated with Greg. Explain why this was the case. Were they inappropriately impatient? Why or why not?

Board members were frustrated with Greg because he was too independent. He was trying to carry on the work all by himself. He didn’t want to hire anyone because it would take money away from the mission. Greg wouldn’t return phone calls or emails for weeks! Greg wasn’t a businessmen and he needed professional help in this area. Board members were appropriately exasperated as Greg needed assistance and accountability (115-116).


5. What caused Greg to go “a bit crazy”? (118).

Greg was so worried about the Afghan refugees that he couldn’t sleep. He felt like a failure because he had tried so hard to raise awareness on their behalf, but no one seemed to care. There was nothing he could do personally to help. The birth of his son lifted him out of a deep depression (118-119).


6. What happened on September 11, 2001? How did the local people of Baltistan respond?

The twin towers in New York were attacked and destroyed by terrorists. The Baltisani people were not in favor of the bombings. They called it an “evil act” and were sorry and felt for those whose family members had been killed in the attack. They asked forgiveness and that the American people would recognize that “the majority of [Muslims] are not terrorists” (125).

1. Greg Mortenson says that, “The difference between becoming a good local citizen and a terrorist could be an education.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.


1. Greg Mortenson says that, “The difference between becoming a good local citizen and a terrorist could be an education” (130). Do you agree or disagree? Explain.


2. Why was going to Washington D.C. like being “dropped in a remote Afghan village for Mortenson?”

He didn’t “know the customs”, he didn’t know “what to do” or how to act with government leaders (137). Mary Bono helped Greg know who to talk to and how to draw attention to the Afghan crisis. He was able to speak to many people about the problems there saying, “terror happens because children aren’t being offered a bright enough future” (138).


3. What evidence demonstrates that the schools Mortenson helped build improve student’s lives? Who attends them?

One example was Jahan, Haji Ali’s grand daughter. She wanted to become a doctor (140). To begin fulfilling her dream, she had to finish grade school. Then she studied in Skardu. She became the first educated woman in the Braldu valley (141). Girls attend the schools (142).


4. What is the “war on terror”? Mortenson states that the war on terror “will ultimately be won with books, not bombs.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain.

The war on terror is the fight against terrorism. This was a major focus in America after 11/09/01. Mortenson’s experience showed him that ignorance and poverty were the true enemy, the root of frustration that leads to terror, not one’s religious beliefs.


5. Reflect on Greg Mortenson’s journey within Pakistan. How did he practice or not practice patience? List three examples.
