Longer Patience or Sharper Memory?

Question

which would you rather want to have?

Answer 1

Both of these can be achieved through philosophical means. The same is true with many of the either/or questions posted here.

But please tell me: What does the nature of an either/or question that has no imminent value, have to do with philosophy?

Answer 2

Patience I have cultivated with time...its the memory that I seem to be losing.  

So for me it has to be sharper/better memory!  

Its kind of strange that as one grows older it becomes a case of 'either/ or'.  Why can't these two go together?  Now that should be food for thought...

Answer 3

memory. yes lack of patience is hard, but memory is so improtant.  

Answer 4

Longer patience for then I could work endlessly to increase my memory.  

Answer 5

this is a pretty hard question to answer. if you'll choose sharper memory it could take you to places but what is the use of a sharper memory if you don't have a longer patience to cultivate what your memory can do but if you choose longer patience, you learn by time and experience and brings you up for a sharper memory.!!

Answer 6

Longer patience! :-)

Answer 7

Sharper memory would be nice, however, sometimes we all get a bit impatient and should learn how to relax a bit more, so out of the two, i think i will say that i would prefer the longer patience because surely that makes us a better person...

Answer 8

Memory. My patience is OK now, so I know I would benefit more from sharper memory. Then I could be like my hero Noam Chomsky, who has encyclopedic memory. That would be amazing.
