This is the Warrior Kid podcast number 39, Ask Uncle Jake. This podcast is based on the five

Warrior Kid books. The first one, wave of the warrior kid. The second one, Mark's mission,

the third one, where there's a will. And the fourth one, the field manual. And finally,

the fifth one, letters from Uncle Jake. The books are about young mark who faces a lot of problems that kids

everywhere face but mark gets help solving those problems from his uncle jake who is a navy seal

and who stays with mark in the summertime and helps him out there's also a movie coming out this

year that does a great job of showing the journey

of a warrior kid, our warrior kid, Mark.

And this podcast is for kids to hear some more lessons from Uncle Jake and also get a

chance to ask some questions from Uncle Jake.

And today, I want to talk to you about virtues.

Virtues. Now, in the first Warrior Kid book, when Mark learns about the different

warrior codes from different warrior cultures, he learns about the code of Bushido, which is the code that the ancient

samurai used. And that code has seven key virtues. And they are integrity, respect, heroic courage, honor, compassion, honesty, and sincerity,

and the last one's duty and loyalty. Now, just to remind you, what a virtue is. A virtue is a

quality or habit that helps you make the right choices

and be the best person that you can be. And the seven key virtues of the samurai, they're great,

but guess what? They're not the only ones. And these virtues these virtues like I said these virtues can help you

help guide your decision making and make you make the right choices and if you have good

virtues and you remember your virtues then you will make better decisions and better choices. So I want to introduce you to some other

virtues that are very important. And the one that I want to talk to you about today is the virtue of

patience. Being patient is staying calm.
