Patience is the ultimate competitive advantage

Impatience is an expensive emotion.

Every app wants your decision in seconds. Every employer wants results this quarter. Every investment platform profits when you trade. Meanwhile, the boring investor who indexed and touched nothing decades ago owns your neighborhood. Who's winning?

The patient inherit everything the impatient leave behind.

How do I know if I’m being patient (a skill) or stubborn (a flaw)? They’re hard to tell apart without hindsight.

“Patience, I believe, is a core competency of a healthy civilization.”

– Stewart Brand
