Throughout my life, I have always believed that patience is a virtue. If you just give something a little time, then things will go you're way. These days, you're not going to get that luxury, especially now that everything's so fasted paced that it's now a game of survival of the fittest(or should I say the fastest. With the advent of cellphones, the wireless internet and the other new technological advancements, the one who can complete the ordered task the fastest is the top dog and that means the slowpoke is out. When I look at the instant gratification demand all around me and the dwindling level of patience among people, I remember the song "I DDon't Want To Wait Anymore" by the Tubes.
Sure technology makes doing things faster but it also causes the higher-ups to demand more from us, knowing the new devices can do the job a heck of a lot faster. That puts a lot of pressure on those doing the task and soon he or she's gets weighed down by pressure. As more and more is demanded of the person, it gets to the point where that person will buckle under the pressure. With all the pressure bearing down on us, we often wonder whatever happened to the days when things were done one step at a time. When they say, they want it now, you better deliver or get tossed out.
Sure life is a struggle, but let us not be too hasty in getting something done. Let's take some time to really see if it's all worth it. Let's give people some breathing space cause people have their limits. As the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in day". So let's cut them some slack and wait a little while cause patience is still a virtue we should never discard.
