If it meant I get two marshmallows, yes I could. But then again I am kind of a marshmallow fiend.
Honestly? I could use a lot more patience, especially by the end of the day. Kind of wish there was a patience refill button I could push the closer it gets to 5pm...
I remember learning about this study in a child development class and was happy when President Uchtdorf used it in his talk. I could wait to eat the marshmallow (since I don't really like them anyway!), but if it were popcorn that might be another matter...
The study (and his talk) is applicable in so many ways in my life though.
I have absolutely zero patients. It is something I try and work on, but I feel like I am just programed to malfunction if something wears on my patience. I feel like it is nearly impossible to stop being so impatient. My boyfriend is the most patient person I have ever met, so we are complete opposites there. I think it would be easier for both of us, if we could reach a middle ground somehow.
Hi Hi! It always makes my day to hear what you have to say. Let's keep this conversation going. Thank you for your comments. Don't want to leave a comment here, email me at blog.familyvolley@gmail.com.
Homemaker, wife and mother. My husband and I have six children. On the side I am an adjunct faculty member at Brigham Young University and a marriage and relationship coach. I used to speak French, wish I could dance, and will almost always choose fruity over chocolate.
Great video. I kind of want a marshmallow now.
ReplyDeleteIt made me want a marshmallow too. But then I felt guilty.
