RE: Seriously Folks... Curb Your Impatience!
I think that everyone on Steemit should read this post (and hopefully have the patience to read it all).
What I believe is that people are more impatient these days. In my opinion that comes from the way children are brought up - parents are trying to give them as much as they can afford as soon as possible.
That is why everyone should at least once in their lifetime work in a post office/fast food restaurant/bank. Then maybe we would understand the waiting process a little better no matter what rush we find ourselves in.
I have to admit, waiting in line is not something I enjoy. However, I am trying to avoid busy times and I also try to avoid the roads during the rush hours.
If I have to go through it, I am trying to sympathize with the person behind the counter - working at the front desk in the hotel gave me enough insight of working under stress when customers are aligned in front of you.
This is a wonderful post and I am glad I did not have to wait in line to get to read it :) Thank you @denmarkguy.
Thanks for the kind words!
There are probably several things at work here-- what you said, as well as something @enjar brought up: In the online environment there's no standing in line and waiting for things. These things conspire to remove us from the whole idea that there is a process behind good things... people just assume they "appear" out of thin air.
I do like the idea that everyone should spend time in the service industry-- in fact, my wife says that all the time!
Yeah right.
