Let’s take a look at this video, these kids they were offered the option of having one marshmallow immediately nor two marshmallows 15 minutes later, and you’ve got a very cute video tape of this experiment, so let’s take a look. What we found is a very simple and direct way of measuring a competence that seems to make an important life difference. A researcher tells these pre-schoolers that she is going to leave the room, if they wait for her to come back without eating the marshmallows, they will get two marshmallows or they can ring the bell and she’ll come back right away, but then they will only get one marshmallow. Looking at children over time, Dr. Michele has found that being able to wait longer at 4 has some pretty powerful implications. And what are those powerful implication is that later in life they’re more disciplined and have more self-control is that pretty much it? Well, they are more likely to achieve their life goals, they have better relationships, they did better on their SAT. It is crazy all because they waited 15 minutes for two marshmallows. The ability to be able to pursue your goals in this case it was two marshmallows versus one and not go on automatic and just grab marshmallow is a very important skill, but I think a main point in mind in the making is that these skills can be taught if you are 14 or 40 or 4. It is not ever too late and any child can learn them, any adult can teach them, and it is never too late.
