I watched a intresting study yesterday where a scientist gave hungry children one marshmellows and told them if they the waited untill he came back he would give them two more. The significance of this study is the ablity to delay gratification is a significant deteminant of future sucess in every walk of life. All the children ate the marshmellow at first despite only waiting ten minutes. But a intresting thing happened when the scientest gave the children ideas on ways to delay gratification singing, playing games hopping all of the children but, one was able to wait. This shows will power can be learned. This also shows the very significant part parenting plays in a childs future.
