Impatience and Impulsiveness; Learning Patience
Apparently, the two ideas -- Impatience and Impulsiveness -- coincide, as "Impulsiveness" is driven by "Impatience" and "Impatience" is the explanation of "Impulsiveness".
When it comes to every "new" thing that comes out to market, I tend to -- "not care". It's actually rare for me to see something or buy something on "opening day".
However...
The shocking thing is: I had thought of myself to have known patience. Well, I managed to prove myself wrong. Very wrong. Alas, it is the contrary; and thus do not understand it at all. The "waiting" (that) I had done before wasn't waiting at all. Instead, it was a heavy touch of complacency and a large dose of inexperience (sheltering). The effect is multiplied if a want applies to the personal level.
So, for every time I show Impatience and Impulsiveness - I deserve a smack-down. It is a way of saying, "Settle down Kyuu". This is something that will take a while to weed out. Yes, it'll take a bit of work too. Extra work. Learning patience will take time.

ADDENDUM: Factoring "age" had made things worse too. To think, I am looking ahead at 35 or even 40. No, do not want to even think about 40 at this time. That's... frightening.
ADDENDUM: I should have realized when I was hunting down a Wii last fall. I was wanting one; and ended up willing to drive all over just looking for one.
It is graceful to receive when the wanting is not there. I got a Wii when the store clerk comes up to me asking if I wanted to buy one. Initially, I was simply at a Gamestop browsing the old PS2 games; and even considering getting one of those. At this point, I was even at the point of giving up on the Wii till May. Go figure.
Point: I got a Wii, when I wasn't wanting one at the time. I should remember this story, every time I get "impatient".
ADDENDUM: Because of this, my risk for mistakes increases proportionally to my oversight.
