The word patience can be related to the fact that Chris and his team have been working hard since 2008 to successfully release a self-driving car, but they have not yet released the final version. Likewise, I am very inspired by the idea of an article, “When Waiting is Weightless: The Virtue of Patience,” in which author Joseph H. Kupfer uses different concepts to talk about the importance of being patient. The phrase “Patience is an instrumental virtue. It is instrumental in two respects: with respect to particular ends and with respect to the other virtues. As we have seen, patience allows us to achieve our goals, or achieve them better than we would otherwise,” clearly motivates everyone to be aware of the potential benefits of our current patience and hard work. For example: During the first year, many university dropouts occur. Most dropouts believe that a college degree is not necessary for the future, so they are not patient enough to think ahead and visualize opportunities after graduation. While I've never been that intolerant, I also wasn't very optimistic about my future success. However, after listening to this talk, I have the feeling that raw ideas take a long time to turn into a profitable product. This talk also helped me realize the power of unity in a group. Chris constantly uses the word “team” in his speech to relate to his partners
