If you are part of the "I want it now club" then you are not alone. We are moving into the 3rd or 4th generation of people who want instant graification. People want to get MA degrees in less than 3 years, lose 100 lbs in 2 months and become a millionaire overnight. These aspects of instantly obtaining success may be far fetched but are most certainly what's moving people.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to get things done quickly, however you have to consider shortcuts are just what it states, a short-cut. If it takes on average 6-8 years to get a Masters Degree you have to wonder what's missing for you to do it in 3 years. "If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is."
Taking the short cut will ultimately leave you in a position where you are missing something or worse a failed mission.
This doesn't mean to take the long route all the time. It is simply cautioning being persuaded by being in a hurry. It wouldn't hurt to even use extreme cautioning. If you are feeling a sense of being rushed, chances are you have not looked at things through from all angles and you may be thinking irrationally.
Be cautious about being moved by how fast you can get it done, rather how is it going to add Substance to your life. This will ultimately benefit you the most. Don't let quickness be the deal breaker.
"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit."
Proverbs 15:4
