Taking your time, not hurrying, and waiting for things to happen in just the right way can seem like a herculean challenge, especially for impatient types like myself. Yet, a little patience can pay off in big ways.
Cynics and anxious types should read Robert Graves’ classic novel, I, Claudius, for proof that the waiting game can really be a winning game.
I, Claudius tells the story of the rise and fall of the Roman Emperor’s Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius through the eyes of Claudius himself.
The bloody, exciting, and sweeping book begins with Claudius describing his bad limp, his stammer, and his awkward frame.
