What defines patience as such an admirable virtue is that it is a learned behavior and not a character trait that results simply from the random collision of DNA molecules. The ability to somehow transform every unfulfilled expectation into a positive moment and to persevere eventually is a function of experience and not of X chromosomes.
And the patience reservoir is filled one thimble-full of frustration -- in the case of Washington Redskins second-year quarterback Jason Campbell, it seems, one snap -- at a time.
