Allan LokosWe must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.
About This Quote
This quote is worth repeating, because it goes against the common notion that you can't be too patient. We tend to think that impatient people are always in a rush or they are very impatient. They are not. They are simply impatient about things that they believe should be done right away.
They may be otherwise intelligent and successful people who still think that things should be done right away. It may be because they have been taught this by their parents or it may be because of an unfortunate experience with a customer service representative at a business establishment.
