I run windows xp machine, on it I play music with a program called windows media player, there is a hotkey you can press, ctrl+f, with this it will randomly shuffle from one track to another. Now, many a time, I find myself using this hotkey, because, I ultimately don't like the song that is playing at any one point, so I press the 'easy escape' as opposed to waiting. Here is the heart of the question, if I were to wait would the next song be better?
Here is why I ask, while I seek the easier escape, or hotkey, from the wretched song, which consequently I could erace if I wasn't such a packrat, but I've gone off on a terrible tangent, rather than finding the song I require I find yet another song I don't like, this process repeats itself about ten times, until by an almost immacaulate interception my computer plays that song I needed to hear! Had I waited and allowed the shuffle process to go on as it would have, would I have reached my point of gratitude sooner, had I just demostrated such divine qualities as patience?

some say patience is a virute because if you wait and do things so that everyone is content things turn out for the better. but if you wait you never know whats going to get in your way. if you have an oppurtunity take it! dont 'be patient' and let it pass cause you dont know if you will ever get another chance. for example if you just let the songs play your computer might bust and youll never get to the one you wanted to hear. if you just skip to the song you want to hear youre happy... you got what you wanted. and you should always do what you want unless it puts someone else at a disadvantage. live in the moment and seize your oppurtunities when they come... dont be 'patient' and let life pass you by.

Patience PaysVoted for by Kei-Aira.
You might not find a song you enjoy sooner, but you would appreciate it more. I do a similar thing to you, constantly jumping from song to song, and find that in my impatience I often skip songs I like, just because it isn't exactly what I am looking for, even though I don't really know what I am looking for. But when I let songs go through naturally, I find I enjoy listening to them more. I am not so demanding then.
