Don't Eat the Marshmallow

The most important factor for success, according to Joachim de Posada in this video, is DELAYED GRATIFICATION and SELF DISCIPLINE.

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.


Joachim de Posada: Don't eat the marshmallow!

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

Start teaching and practicing delayed gratification!
