Bella can eat one cookie now or two cookies later...

Based on Walter Mischel's Marshmallow experiment, in which four year-olds were offered a marshmallow, which they could eat if they wanted. However, they were also told that if they waited until the researcher came back into the room, they would be given a second marshmallow. Kids who could successfully defer their gratification (about 1 in 3) were found to later have higher SAT scores at 18 years of age.
