Justification
I'm not a patient person. I fully admit that. And I've always thought that it was one of my character flaws (inherited from my even less patient father). But after reading an article written by Lance Armstrong I may have to change my thinking. Maybe my impatience is not so much a flaw but rather a strength.
Lance says:
"I'm not known for my patience. Patience is a polite quality and often appropriate, but it rarely gets things done. Impatience, however, is the hunger for results and intolerance for excuses and delays. Impatience got me over countless mountain passes, across the finish line in New York City and through four rounds of ruthless chemotherapy 10 years ago."
Well said Lance, well said.
