Patience is a virtue, right?

Having patience with someone is a tough job. Sometimes you are furstrated with what you are doing or what is happening, and patience is the first thing to go. Patience is basically a sign of respect for someone. Assuming someone is 'stupid' is wrong...people don't always make their instructions clear. Perhaps the lack of patience is the result of a lack of good communication skills? If you don't communicate clearly your wants or needs, you can't expect them to be fulfilled instantly. Irregardless, there is no need to be rude to someone just because you become impatient.

Most highly intelligent people tend to be impatient often. It is a sad trait that goes hand-in-hand with high capabilities...people who are highly capable of a skill tend to be short on patience with someone who is not at their level. Often, those people have trouble communicating what they want from someone because they assume that everyone is on the same page, or the same wavelength, as themselves. Unfortunately, most people who are like this tend to stay like this because they fail to see (or admit) what they need to do or change in order to make things go smoothly.
