An Example in Self Discipline
I wanted to share this video because I feel as though it makes an excellent case with respect to how people can rein in the desire to spend recklessly. It’s a very easy thing to do to purchase something in order to feel gratification and this video does a wonderful job in describing and exploring it.
In this short talk from TED U, Joachim de Posada shares a landmark experiment on delayed gratification — and how it can predict future success. With priceless video of kids trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow.

I loooooove TED talks. I’d heard about this experiment before, it’s great to see the actual videos.
I like this video. Anyone learn many morals and teaching from it. Thanks for uploading this video.
Great video. I think it also has relevance to teaching kids money management and the understanding of needs vs. wants.
