In a simple marshmallow test, researchers have discovered that:
- 100% of the children who did not eat the marshmallow as instructed had enjoyed success when they become adults.
- A huge percentage of the children who disobeyed the instruction and ate the marshmallow had got into trouble when they become adults.
To tell a four-year-old kid to wait 50 minutes for something that they like is equivalent to tell us "We'll bring you coffee in 2 hours". ~ Joachim de Posada
