Delayed gratification, the key way to success...

Hello everyone.😊😊 Today I will talk about a way to success, Delayed gratification.

You maybe thinking of what is delayed gratification. Well delayed gratification is describes as the process that the subject undergoes when the subject resists the temptation of an immediate reward in preference for a later reward. That means you have got something lets say money and if you use the whole money in a party you can not make more money with it but if you resist your temptation for party for few days and use the money in a useful so that you get the rewards and then party. That way you can have the party and also keep some money in hand.

There is a famous experiment based on the claim. It is known as the marshmallow experiment. I am sharing the experiment with you.

The researcher provided each children with a marshmallow and told the child that he was going to leave the room and that if the child did not eat the marshmallow while he was away, then they would be rewarded with a second marshmallow. However, if the child decided to eat the first one before the researcher came back, then they would not get a second marshmallow.

So the choice was simple: one treat right now or two treats later.

The researcher left the room for 15 minutes.

As you can imagine, the footage of the children waiting alone in the room was rather entertaining. Some kids jumped up and ate the first marshmallow as soon as the researcher closed the door. Others wiggled and bounced and scooted in their chairs as they tried to restrain themselves, but eventually gave in to temptation a few minutes later. And finally, a few of the children did manage to wait the entire time.

But the experiment is not over yet. The researchers conducted follow up studies and tracked each child's progress in a number of areas for about 40 years. What they found was surprising.

The children who were willing to delay gratification and waited to receive the second marshmallow ended up having higher SAT scores, lower levels of substance abuse, lower likelihood of obesity, better responses to stress, better social skills as reported by their parents, and generally better scores in a range of other life measures.

The researchers followed each child for more than 40 years and over and over again, the group who waited patiently for the second marshmallow succeed in whatever capacity they were measuring. In other words, this series of experiments proved that the ability to delay gratification was critical for success in life.

Before we go further, let's clear one thing up: these studies are just one piece of data, a small insight into the story of success. Human behaviour is a lot more complex than that, so let's not pretend that one choice a four-year-old makes will determine the rest of his or her life.

But…

The studies above do make one thing clear: if you want to succeed at something, at some point you will need to find the ability to be disciplined and take action instead of becoming distracted and doing what's easy. Success in nearly every field requires you to ignore doing something easier in favour of doing something harder.

So try to practice delayed gratification in everyday life . And if you like the article please upvote, comment and subscribe me.
