By considering this habit as only a playful attitude, you are showing you are aware of it. It is not however a good idea to use style in covering up the impatience. This will play with your own mind. So every day you have to start practicing delaying gratification in other activities to be able to cultivate calmness and to not insist on immediate outcomes to everything you are engaging in in life.
In general, those who take a long-term view have a better chance of success because they're thinking about how to improve themselves today to reap the rewards in the future. I think it's professionals who go through this process; they start training, brainstorming various strategies to improve their game and themselves, to be stronger than others, to prove they're worthy. In any case, those who jump in and play today without improving themselves will play the same way tomorrow, relying solely on luck. Becoming a professional is almost impossible; it's not a long-term perspective.
