Hurry Quote by Valerie Mason-John
““Some of our triggers have been tagged by the British media “hurry sickness.” As one columnist wrote, “People who tap their fingers impatiently as they wait for the microwave to finish or huff and puff while their computer starts up could have the latest malady to modern living — ‘hurry sickness.’”13 We live life at such a fast pace that if something does not happen quickly enough, we can become indignant and sometimes enraged.””
