Blog It Assignments-Do Not Eat The Marshmallow

What! Are you telling me not to eat this marshmallow for 15 minutes? Are you crazy?! Joachim de Posada explained how 4-5 year old kids were placed in a room with a marshmallow, and they were told not to eat it for 15 minutes; they explained to the kids that if they didn't eat the marshmallow they would get two marshmallows. Of course two out of three kids ate the marshmallow. Most of the kids picked it up, felt it, smelt it, and set it back down until they couldn't take it anymore. Later they came back to the kids at the ages of 15 or 16. They saw how they were doing in school; the kids who had not eaten the marshmallow were successful  in school, where the kids who did weren't doing as well. I didn't know that eating a marshmallow would make a person end up working in McDonald's
