> If you want change in this world, eat differently and understand that real and lasting change takes time. Patience is a virtue for a reason, but it isn't about waiting, it is concerned with the outcomes of action.

Right now it seems people want change, one of the problems is they do not know what change they want, nor how to go about achieving it. This leads to a lack of patience in people, with no plan and no idea of what outcome they want; no plan of action, no direction, no concept of the direction they are traveling leaves them in a complete state of confusion. When you are confused it is hard to have patience 

Impatience is the reason why people fall  for many ponzi schemes. I learnt my lesson in 2017 in a hard way. Impatience does not allow you analyze properly. I think the social media contributes to the impatience in this generation... Everybody wants to blow..

My country people say "everything na time" meaning everything has its time . When it is your time, it is your time.
Until people can understand this , impatience will keep on building up in this generation

> It might feel great to be part of a social movement, but it rarely leads to where people want it to go, because the leaders of it do not want it to go there. You can't change the system by asking those who benefit from the system just the way it is, to change.

Words not only of truth, put important truth.  If you are waiting for someone to make changes or even following someone who promises changes, you are almost certainly wasting your time and energy that could be better focused.

Yet there have been changes.  Some of them I presume to be world wide, even though I only truly know the US.  Real, lasting social change comes at a glacial pace until it finally starts to move.  I think that could be true for many of the things we face today.  Not the least of which is crypto and blockchain technology.  I ultimately believe that we will persevere but at a glacial pace.  Most will get bored or tired and leave.  Maybe even multiple times before the glacier visibly moves.

Thank you for another 'thinking post'.  I really do appreciate them.

Attention is indeed a scarce resource. And on this impatience diet society has been on for quite some time. I take it as an overstimulation of the reactive system. If you can't get it fast and as you want it you get irritated and react promptly without too much thought. Therefore.... Yes... The masses are part of this kind of mentality. The diet of the impacient ones has to change. Slowly. But it is hard to put a vision of future change in front of someone who can't see straight due to emotions.

We are a privileged generation, and because of that were also a spoilt generation. Everyone seems to over bloat their efforts and thus their expectations on rewards.  As common virtues die out, it will be impossible to maintain even a somewhat functional human society, except we wanna be robots.

The now vs tomorrow battle is one I am very familiar with. Given a chance to do it over and over, 95% of the times I will always pick tomorrow over instant gratifications.

We are the society of instant gratification. I press a button and the information of the world is at my fingertips.

"With great power, comes great responsibility"

We all have this great power.. access to endless knowledge (and.. unfortunately, we are not using it correctly).

Research papers in grade school used to require multiple sources regardless of the topic. We would need to cite 5 or more sources for a paper as simple as the United States civil war. Doing this type of research taught you how to differentiate between good sources and bad sources and it also gave you a broader perspective on a single topic. It seems like we have lost our way and will only use one source, if any, without actually validating who is saying the information that we're citing or what their sources were to get to their conclusion.

It is very disappointing to watch that this is where society is going...

And here we sell 3 seconds as fast.

We always talk onboarding complexity and those components, yet I’m sure that for many modern users our loading times alone are a deterrent already. Not to mention those 3 seconds to *”mark as read”*. 

Very relevant post.

I loved this paragraph, you're writing is very intellectual and thought provoking. 
> Being impatient affects emotional response, it affects expectations, it affects the feeling of entitlement and perhaps most important, it makes it very difficult and unlikely to invest into something long-term. Without patience, one can't take advantage of the compound effects, the small amounts that add up to something much larger than the capital invested. But, this doesn't apply to just money, it applies to pretty much everything.

I'll tell you a lazy man would not read your posts it takes too much attention and focus to read. 🙂

Interesting in the Bible patience Is also a big virtue and part of the fruit of the spirit that every child of God should bear and manifest in their lives.

Hey! I like your topic!!! No comment for this post! I enjoy reading it!

Es tan amplio el tema que tocas “tolerancia a la frustración” tan importante como otras habilidades, por eso en la actualidad vemos niños y jóvenes suicidándose por cosas tan sencillas como “sus padres no le compraron el teléfono que quería”, abandonando trabajos e incluso relaciones sentimentales por no tener un mínimo de tolerancia. Es una habilidad importante que como padres tenemos el deber de desarrollar en nuestros hijos.
>It's such a broad topic that you touch on "frustration tolerance" as important as other skills, which is why today we see children and young people committing suicide for such simple things as "their parents didn't buy them the phone they wanted", quitting jobs and even relationships because they don't have a minimum of tolerance. It is an important skill that we as parents have a duty to develop in our children.

Wow... concrete rational thought

Patience is indeed and excellent quality to have in one's life.
But patience for its own sake is most often worthless, as if there are no sustained actions towards the intended goal, then one is indeed waiting for nothing.

We often see the power of skills development at work in people's lives and even just basic skills can change a person's staid and settled life.
Resignation however poses a big problem. "This is my life, this is how it is and I can do nothing about it, so I am not even going to try"!

I always wait. Use my internet for a month and you will learn to be patient and do something else while you won't and wait and wait and sooner or later you no longer care. 👍💕
