Impulsiveness

There is a certain danger in always gunning for immediate gratification.
While it feels good at the time, the ramifications later can be significant.
Care is needed in some situations.

As a wise man once said:

"Control! Control! You must learn Control!!"

In many, if not most, cases I would agree...

However, look where that "wise man" and his "control" ended up. Exiled - alone - on a swampy planet, half-loony; a failure (although it can be argued that he made up for it), who was too arrogant to bother with the one he himself sensed would be trouble. He said: "...grave danger I fear in his training." Yes, this "wise man" feared -- the very "wise man" who declared that, "fear is the path to the dark side."

And then the one he labeled: "reckless"? That one not only helped to save a oppressed galaxy, he helped his father to redemption, and, as a result of that redemption, he may've effectively wiped out the Sith (not counting any of the novels that followed).
