And by instant gratification, I meant the pushy impatient attitude. Which I can't pull off, because between Mom and lots of experience handling (or rather tricking and outwaiting) animals, I was forced to develop patience and caution.

It was supposed to happen when I was still stupidly overconfident that youth was a big survival booster... like in the music videos. Then again, I never bothered to learn how to weld stuff to my clothes and vehicle...
