Impulse Control Disorder--(The Art of being RUDE)

Everyone is talking about Rep. Joe Wilson, Serena Williams and yes, even kanye West recent outbursts--how they were just plain rude (Impulse Control Disorder)...In today's article in the "Los Angeles Times" (see below link), writter Robin Abcarian depicts a society, through historical events, that begins to gradually question authority which ultimately leads to rude behavior. It's a fascinating read!

Are these outbursts a general collapse of manners or are these people just wanting to be noticed? There are many theories. Have we indulged ourselves in emotions--from how kids treat their parents to how students treat their teaches and all the way up the line--to the President of the United States.

As a realtor in Fort Lauderdale, after showing clients 80 or more homes and they are still not ready to buy, an outburst from me would not further my success. It's a world of fast, fast, fast and instant gratification...everyone wants it now and wants it their way.

I suggest we all practice the art of patience--
