a clever way to make the point that it's difficult to delay gratification. worth watching for the video within the video. i'd like to know more about other possible factors were in effect for those 1/3 of the study children who later were more successful

Interesting speech about how the ability to delay gratification can affect a person's success in life. The speaker shares results of his studies with children, who were asked to not eat a marshmallow for 15 minutes, in return for getting a second one. One out of three children in the studies were able to hold back, and they appear to be more successful than the ones who ate the marshmallow right away. The speaker suggests we apply these findings to curbing our growing deficit. The video clips are very amusing.

A very interesting set of results and conclusions from a study on delayed gratification. Well presented and compelling. I'd also like to know more about how the study was conducted to see how far reaching its implications could be.
