Don't eat the Marshmallow!

In a TED Talks video there is a man who is talking about this experiment that was taken that showed the success fullness of children in the future. All the experiment was, was putting a 4-5 year old in a room alone with a  marshmallow and telling them that if they waited 15 minutes in the room with the marshmallow alone in the end they would recive two marshmallows. Two out of three children in the experiment ate the marshmallow but the other third that didn't eat the marshmallow would wonder around the room, pick it up put it back down, and smell it. 15 years or so later they did a follow up on the kids and found out that the ones who ate the marshmallows weren't doing so good in school some had even dropped out. They then did a follow up on the children who didn't eat the marshmallow and the found out that they were much more sucsessfull in school and some had even gone to universities. This experiment shows self disapline and  self restrant. I think that this is a good way to see how successfull in life!
