Life is good, it's great to be alive! No matter how many times you go hungry, how many times you get a boot in your backside and a club over your head--no matter how tough the scuffle is, it's great to be alive, brother! I had to get my knocks, plenty of them, before I could understand that.
Mezz Mezzrow (1899 - 1972)

What is the first business of one who practices philosophy? To get rid of self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.
Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD) discourses

Impatience is what you feel when you think the future, in either hours, days, or years, will be "better" than the present.

It won't.
