Don't eat the marshmallow!

What I listened to

When I first saw this topic,"Don't eat the marshmallow", I quickly open it because I thought that it will talk about the disadvantage of marshmallow. Although I am not really like marshmallow, I still want to know about it. After I watched this video, I am so excited to share it because it is so funny.

What it says

In clip, the speaker, Joachim de Posada, said about four-year-old kids that have been taken into a room with marshmallow for 15 minutes, and they were told to not eat that marshmallow. The kids who did not eat marshmallow are 100 percent succeed when they grow up. On the other hand, the kids who had eaten marshmallow are fail. That is why he said don't eat the marshmallow.

My response 

I love his example which is very easy to understand and so funny and I really want to know that if I were on that age, would I eat marshmallow or not?

I think that eating or not eating marshmallow is not the main idea that Joachim de Posada wants to tell us, but the main thing is self-discipline. If the kids have a self-discipline since they were young, they are going to be success. 

As a new generation girl like me, who was treated by a computer and smart phone, I really suspect that what will happen on this generation in that situation. I guess that the rate of the kids who do not eat the marshmallow are going to be decrease. However, I am not really care about it.

  1. I don't think that young kids have much choice about their choice to eat the marshmallow or not. Does this mean that our entire future is 100% (the quoted statistic) determined by the wiring of our brain at birth plus the environment it develops in?

    What a thought provoking post from Kampu as I finish my morning coffee.
