When Siddhartha says that he can fast, wait and think and he believed that it was because of these qualities that he could work for the merchant. To him, fasting seemed like not giving into hunger so easily because to get food, one must first work. Siddhartha would have had to get a job if he could not fast for long. Without the ability to think, he would not be able to perform any task that is handed over to him. As for patience, it is a virtue. Without patience, then Siddhartha would not be able to complete long and stressful tasks as well as fasting for it requires a lot of patience.
Fasting can be a very good thing for anyone to try out, whether it is for religion or even weight loss. Many religions tend to fast at some points during the here to experience what their saviors went through when fasting. Some people like to fast to lose weight but if they do it too much then it can become a major problem for them. One thing that I would like to say is that fasting requires a lot of patience because it is very hard to not eat any food of the sort when your refrigerator is full of it!
