Knowing your own faults makes you patient with others. When you recognize the same shortcomings in yourself, frustration becomes a mirror. Use self-knowledge as a tool for empathy instead of irritation.

Somebody really clever said, the more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others. And that's it, right? If you know that you are also full of faults and that you can also be short with people or in other ways irritating, it's easier to understand and be patient when others do that unto you. Think about that the next time you're frustrated with someone. It's probably because you have parts of that inside yourself as well.
