I think we are living at a really fast-paced world nowadays. Even if you want to slow down your own pace, somehow, mentally you will be affected by the rush going by you. It makes you wonder whether you are out of touch with the society already.
Have you ever been at the fast food counter and the cashier has asked you for your order and you ask them to let you think for a moment and they begin to tap their foot as if they are actually saying "Hurry up dude, there are people behind you that I have to wait on!" Or have you ever been at the car park ticket machine making payment and you sense the impatience in the queue behind you?
Patience has been recognized as an admirable and honorable attribute, for as long as time. It has been written and quoted about, again and again over the centuries by many a wise men (and women). Confucius, Leonado Da Vinci, Edmund Burke, just to name a few.
Intelligence - action. Patience - reflection. This is my humble interpretation
