Impatience is a reasonable reaction to the brevity of things. Life is infinitesimally short. However, it seems that by all accounts different people experience time differently, and that a quality of real urgency is actually something fairly rare.
Patience is, indeed, a virtue, and one often absent when warranted as well, no argument. However, it can also be a terrible fault to move too slowly, as deer-in-the-headlights-as-a-default will at times be the shortest route to extinction. Sometimes the virtuous thing is instead to charge forward with all force and speed, without hesitation.
Balance in this just like everything else.
