Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game.

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle

For patience, sov'reign o'er transmuted ill.

She showed incredible patience. She didn't get down on herself and was able to move from sixth to second on her last jump. She did what she had to do and came through when it counted. She also posted the fastest split for the 4 x 400-meter team.

I like switching gears. I'm kind of a chameleon.
