First of all, I would like to recommend an interesting video to everyone. Be sure to watch it to the end, otherwise you will miss a lot of laughter. Don’t eat marshmallows
This video is about the famous marshmallow experiment in psychology. To give a brief introduction, the subjects of the experiment were children in kindergarten. The experimenter told the children, here is a marshmallow, I Now I have to go out for a while. If you can wait for me for fifteen minutes and don't eat the candy while waiting for me, if you can do that, I will give you a candy when I come back.
The results of the study found that most children did not wait for 15 minutes. During the waiting process, children would use various strategies to divert their attention, such as playing with the corners of their clothes, looking left and right, You can also lick a little bit or smell the marshmallow like in the video (I cried with laughter).
Through later follow-up, the experimenters found that the children who waited longer performed better in the later period, and they were more likely to succeed in life. Why? Because they are willing to give up the immediate benefits for the sake of greater future benefits. This is an ability.
To give a few examples, marshmallows represent a kind of temptation. There are many temptations in our lives, such as playing games, watching TV series on the Internet, shopping, etc. For a middle school student, he His main task is to study. If he cannot have fun at the appropriate time, but plays games when he wants, and goes out to hang out with friends when he wants, will his grades be good?
The same is true for adults. Let’s talk about the workplace. Some surveys say that the current post-90s generation is too willful. The average time to leave is three months. Maybe you will leave if you don’t like it. If there is no development prospect here, I will leave. Even so, you can do this for a job. If only three or four jobs are like this, then first of all, it means that you have not recognized yourself. In three or four months, you will not even be able to hold your current position. You haven’t figured out all the ways, there is no way out, you can’t talk about what you don’t like. Only when you have put enough effort into something, can you be qualified to talk about liking it!
Therefore, for those who are just starting out in the workplace, be patient and study hard first. One year is your most basic bottom line!
Those of us who like to consume in advance and advocate early satisfaction must also learn to wait. Otherwise, when you owe money on a credit card that you cannot afford to pay off, how desperate you will feel. What will be the final outcome of those who borrow money naked? My whole life is ruined!
We can consume appropriately in advance. Before consuming in advance, we must first evaluate our ability and whether we can afford to pay it back. There are also those little fairies who like to buy things on Taobao. The products are all beautiful and cheap. They buy all kinds of things, but in the end they just find a pile of junk. If you can wait patiently, you can wait until your salary is paid next month. , go buy a good dress. It will be comfortable for you and look decent when you wear it. That would be great. The key point is that it can also make room for your home and your soul. Wouldn’t it make you happier to buy a good dress?
Others say that if I just buy one more expensive piece of clothing a year, my wardrobe will be full after five years of shopping!
In the end, I would like to say that delayed gratification may not always succeed, but those who do not wait may not be successful. Properly teach your baby to learn to wait. It is neither to satisfy him immediately nor to wait indefinitely, but to wait for a time limit. After waiting, he will get a greater reward, which may be more conducive to stimulating his internal learning.
