Along the same lines as many of us have already said, my mother's answer is
"Patience is for things you don't want to do." I will also ask them about
their interests, how they relax. Many people who do handwork can relate to
the zen state that doing their work brings them to. Others will see my
reaction to their choice of relaxation activity ("Jogging? Better you than
me!) and recognize that different people achieve their zen in different ways.
