Patience
My mother was the epitome of patience. You remember the endless questions you subjected her to, right? "Why is the sky blue, mum? Why can't I have sweets for dinner?" Yet she never snapped, she always found the stamina to answer calmly and logically. The ability to remain patient, even when tested to the limit, is perhaps one of the most crucial skills my mother taught me.
