'A patient dog eats the fattest bone', fact or societal propaganda?

[ODG001]

Does patience really guarantee the best rewards, or is it just a saying used to keep people calm

And in today’s world do patient people win or get left behind, do you think making this proverb was either out of wisdom or manipulation, and what real-life examples prove or disprove it as we break it down together

What’s your honest take?

[Agbamoni]

Patience is key to achieving great success, but that does not mean you have to be patient doing nothing or doing the wrong thing, it will surely amount to nothing.

For instance, both trading and investment need patience. When you don't have patience in trading, you lose money by making the wrong decisions. Also in investment, you need patience to HODL, because the profit in the future is better than the short-term profit.

True, patience only works when paired with the right actions

Waiting blindly isn’t wisdom it’s wasted time

In both trading and life, strategy plus patience is what creates real results.
The key is knowing when to hold, when to act, and when to walk away.

Patience doesn't mean that one should just relax in their comfort zone and do nothing. Hoping that everything will fall into place without working or putting effort is not patience but foolishness or laziness.

Anyway, we have to recognise that the virtue called patience is slowly going down the drain. Everyone is now moving on the fast lane where they want things to work out fast. Young people now want to achieve success without going through the right or normal process.  With the increase in the rate of influencers on social media flaunting wealth,  people are increasingly assuming that money can come as fast as possible.

Big Pharma is the one who sets out the bones. Why do they do it. Because they are trying to make all the dogs to be patient people in hospitals. Make more money that way.

Patient is indeed a virtue and it gathered all , though for someone to have patient it depends on individual difference over a particular thing ,not generally,but let it depend on something but as I said it depends on the situation at hand.
But not in all situations that someone can have patient.

It is not all the time that being patient guarantees the best reward; sometimes being patient can result in rewards, but the proverb does not work in every case. The reason the proverb is often used is because some people rush and make wrong decisions that they later regret.

Let take Bitcoin investment as an example. When someone invests in Bitcoin and is not patient enough, they may not make as much profit as someone who waits before selling. However, if someone invests in a shitcoin, they must act very quickly to take profit, or they may end up regretting it. This is why it is not in every aspect that a person should be patient.

[Findingnemo]

It depends and can be proved either way.

Let's take Bitcoin, for example. People who bought bitcoin when it was around single digit or even in cents and had the patience to keep them holding for the next 10 years then probably they are worth billions or at least millions so patience can pay you.

Now take a sinking ship as an example, if you wait for the kids and women to escape through the lifeboat,s then you will freeze to death.

This is an old saying that teaches about patient as a virtue. At the same time, this saying is becoming something that people see you as a fool these days because almost every is going on the fast lane. People now want to invest in btc today and immediately start to get profit from it and if that profit is not coming, they begin to worry. Like someone that invested in btc and everyday he is checking the wallet to see if there is profit made. However, it still depends because sometimes you are patient and you get cheated, another time too because you weren't patient for certain things and achieved them. I think we just have to follow our heart but the real purpose of the proverb is that you have to take your time to act on something and not to rush into what you don't know. It teaches about persistent and consistence in the face of tough times. It teaches that at the end there is reward for what you do.

Are you just realizing that? You obviously failed to mention that in your topic.
But whatever, I'm glad we now know it isn't social propaganda. Patience is indeed key to achieving great success. Success that cannot be measured by a limit.
Patience, tailored with discipline aligned in a direct path, will surely achieve success. No two ways about it.

That word functions as an idiomatic expressions and you don't interpret an idiom to look like just noun. What this statement entails is that patient Leeds to success, but for that success to manifest, you need to be work hard and be Smart. You need to be focused and be wise. The word is beyond how people sees it. That's why I call it an idiom because it looks simple but has a heavenly meaning.

And in today’s world do patient people win or get left behind, do you think making this proverb was either out of wisdom or manipulation, and what real-life examples prove or disprove it as we break it down together

What’s your honest take?

Well some words are beyond what you think. To a lame man patient is just a word or just a noun but forgot that it portray another dimension of meaning. To be patient don't mean that you are  just being patient alone, infac it doesn't guarantees success. The only person who succeed while being patient is like a person that planted a seed, waterd it, weeds it, allows it to mature and then harvest it. Following this process till you reap the fruits of your labour is the process of being patient, and this is applicable to all other thing in life. So anybody can be patient including those without target or investment. When a person has focus and started somewhere by investing gradually and be patient, there is a possibility of the person succeeding rather than a person that has nothing to offer and be hoping and waiting for success. Success comes to those that spent their time to invest. Let's take for example those that invested in Bitcoin early around 2012 and where patient till they sold it higher around 2025 will make success than those who didn't try. No w you see that the statement is made out of wisdom and not manipulation.

[Oshio-man]

I have seen many people that accommodated patience in the society to achieve some political position that change their life completely today, be patience in anything you are doing in life there is a reward that will come when you hold till the reward comes because there are some people that will be monitoring you every night and day to see if you will quit for some issues but facing those issues without quitting them it will definitely make you a strong man or woman in the society,  patience dog eats the fastest bone is what people have experience from patience that made them to raise that proverbs that patience dog eat the fatest bone and it has teach many people lesson not to be hurry in anything they know it will definitely happen in the future.

Nature has it's role in this whereby such expression can be up being valid in most cases and times and can also become invade in most cases and times, it is not an express to be hold on to with 100 percent assurance, let me give a story where being patient was validated and positive, two brothers was given a working slot to represent their family as a contractor, the younger brothers insisted that he will go and represent the family since his elder brother doesn't spend much of his time at home that he should wait let him go for particular chance that when next another one will come the elderly one should take without much argument the elderly one allowed his younger brother to represent the family while waiting for the next turn, the good news is that the other chance that came for the second time which is going to be taken by the patient elder brother the pay is 3x more than that of the first chance of opportunity.

Patient is key to become successful in life.your ability to cope when your business is still at the lower level but you keep up pushing until you hit it big and begin to compete with other multi national companies .but it's takes alot of patience to achieve that.
It's unfortunate today world such patients have completely eroded as nobody want to exercise such but want to hit it big within a twinkle of an eyes,that why they involve themselves in so many atrocities that at the end ended in there shame.
