The Marshmellow Test. Or: What time really matters.

Let's assume you get a marshmallow and a choice: eat it now, or wait and get a second sweety as reward.

The Marshmallow Test from Igniter Media on Vimeo.



The video shows excellently that this may sound just too easy, but that it is seriously tough in reality.

It's a question worth asking again and again: take one or wait for the other? The rewards may be many. Later. They may even be many more. Even later. They may be infinite. If you wait just as long.

The sky is the limit and some future may be bright. But a marshmallow now and not later may not only taste well but also help to shine the mood up and make aiming for the whole package independently a breeze.
