i actually love this test because of how it shows the importance of delaying gratification because usually the long term goals are the goals that provide success.
-
the smart kid would get up from the chair and ask: "why is this worth ANY of MY valuble time?" and walk out the door.
-
The kids who waited are dumb. First of all, who cares if you do well in school if you're morbidly obese from all the marshmallows you ate when you were 4?. Also, none of the "smart" ones realized that they were waiting 15 minutes for some goop from a horse's hoof.

there should be an adult version.. you can f**k your gf now... or you can wait 15 minutes and you get to f**k her girl friend too :P

Ironic that I watched this right after having to wait for about a month for something. I can tell you, it's not just about the marshmallows. People in society are generally centered around one thing- instant gratification. If you can put off that feeling, and be self-confident, and totally in control, you can get more done. Think about it- what's more fun, writing an essay or going out with friends? Now think about this- What's better, failing the paper because you put it off or getting an A?

I lived the lesson illustrated out here for even a child to grasp =- it is not about a marshmallow - it is about self discipline!!!

Dude, why are you taking the experiment so personally? The kids are suppose to stay in the room for the full 15 minutes and make a decision. Everyone's guilty of instant gratification, that's the freakin point of the experiment. It's not pretending to be some crystal ball to determine your child's future and determines your "status in life". Kids who eat the marshmallow aren't destined to fail, but those who have self control at an early age have a much easier time being successful later in life
