Marshmello Experiment : Delayed Gratification

Can Marshmello predict our future??

This is about Delayed Gratification and about Instant Gratification.

So First of all hello everyone. I hope that you guys are doing very well. I know what are you all curious about: Can marshmello really predict our future?  

So answer to your question let's talk about an interesting experiment developed by the Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel in the 1960s. This was none other than the Marshmello experiment.

Yeah, this is a marshmello!!

Now what was done in this experiment, let's read.   

So about two to three kids were in a room and Walter kept one-one mashmello in front of  each one of them. After that he said to them if they ate this marshmello right now than thats completely fine but if they could wait for 10 minutes than they will get to eat three marshmellos instead of one. And after that he left the room so that the kidscan make there choice.

So what were the results? What happened? So let me tell you after when Walter left ,some of them instantly ate it and some of them delayed it to get three marhmelloes later. And that was what exactly happened, they got three marshmelloes as promised. 

Now,now I know what you guys are thinking. So that's it? It was the end? They ate the marshmelloes and everything just went like pufff. So the answer to your question: No, it was definetly not the end. So, after 30 years or like that when he saw those kids who didn't ate there marshmello at the first place so that they can get more. They were better in life, like they had a higher GPA, higher SAT scores. All I wanted to say is they were better in life, they were doing there best .

So now I know many of you are thinking that well that's great.  All I have to do to be succesful in my life is to eat the mashmello later and I will be succesful like that. Soooo, no. This was just an experiment which was conducted to show you that how exactly delayed gratification works.

Now most important question: What is Delayed Gratification??

So now to fully understand this word, you must know the meaning of Gratification. So, what is it? Let's find out.

Gratification: A source of pleasure, satisfaction.

And I think that you already know what is the meaning of instant and delay?

If you don't then mention not, that's why I am here.

Instant: In a very short time

Delay: late or postponed

So, I guess now you understood the meaning of  instant gratification and dealyed gratification. If not then again why I am here, ofcourse to make you fully understand the following concept: 

Instant Gratification: pleasure or satisfaction which is obtained in a very short period of time.

Delayed Gratification: pleasure or satisfaction which is obtained after controlling your ego for the present time so that you can enjoy the satisfaction in the upcoming future.

  

So now second Question: How Delayed gratification Helps us in life??

Studies shows that delayed gratification is one of the most effective personal trait of the succesful people. Overtime delayed gratification will improve your self-control and help you achieve your long-term goal faster.

So I would say, Start small and achieve big. That is the best method for life goal. 

Now I guess this will not happen after reading this post.

So that is how delayed gratification works and that is how a simple marshmello can predict our future and if you want some information on instant gratification. Do tell in comments. That would be great.

Now I have to go to the bathroom cause I am sure that it can not be delayed!! OK BYE!!!
