Delayed gratification part 1 According to the Marshmallow experiment study, those of kids who were able to wait till the return of a tester with extra reward became more successful in adulthood than other children. Well, those results might be thought of as true ones, but one should not leave out such important things as political, economical, and social situation in the world. The modern world changes really fast. Once learned things become outdated right away, once earned money becomes devalued even faster. As for the latter, people came up with the idea of investments, not even this activity guarantee any wealthy future. Actually, nothing guarantees anything. And I quite understand those people who prefer living for today. They might die tomorrow, who knows. And before that sad moment they could have a little bit of fun. Nobody can blame them for this.

Delayed gratification and coping with changes According to the Marshmallow experiment study, those of kids who were able to wait till the return of a tester with extra reward became more successful in adulthood than other children. Well, those results might be thought of as true ones, but one should not leave out such important things as political, economical, and social situation in the world. The modern world changes really fast. Once learned things become outdated right away, once earned money becomes devalued even faster. As for the latter, people came up with the idea of investments, not even this activity guarantee any wealthy future. Actually, nothing guarantees anything. And I quite understand those people who prefer living for today. They might die tomorrow, who knows. And before that sad moment they could have a little bit of fun. Nobody can blame them for this. But at the same time when people have to cope with changes - because that is how nature works (changes - adaptation - repeat) - they try to evolve, and the most successful ones have a clear understanding of the purpose of it. Gratification does not always mean some material stuff. It could be a higher goal that would have a greater impact in future. As for me, I am yearning for changes and afraid of them at the same time. I jump at opportunities that fuel me with inspiration so much that it beats my fear. For some time (2 or 3 days) I let myself go hysterical for a bit, feel scared, think of any bad things to happen. And then I just think of it as a task that needs to be done. Such attitude helps me to overcome uneasiness and fear of changes.
