Patience is a virtue for a PhD candidate.
It takes time to explore literature.
It takes time to think and work your way to write up a thesis.
It takes time to complete a PhD.
It takes time to prepare well for the viva.
Patience gets you through difficult days, hard times and trying setbacks.
Be patient in the viva too. Don’t rush. It takes time, even a little, to respond well to questions.
Take the time.
