is patience really virtue

dun get me worry in some sense patience is really virtue.. i am talking about in the working world.. as in if u wait and wait to get a certain position in a company does it really pay off.. or in the sense of getting a good job offer.. i do believe sometimes it happens that u really do get it but how often does it happen.. it always is my fren or fren's fren but u never hear about those close to u.. how come.. haha.. curious rite.. me also.. sigh..
