Joachim de Posada says, Don’t eat the marshmallow yet

Saturday, June 6th, 2009 at 8:42 am

I like to watch the videos on Ted and I found the below video which reinforced in me the value of delayed gratification. Something, I have not always practiced in my life. Joachim de Posada shares a landmark experiment on delayed gratification — and how it can predict future success. You will enjoy this priceless video of kids trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow. You need to ask yourself, “Am I still eating the marshmallows”.

HI Duane:

Thank you for sharing the TED video with your friends. Also, you are very honest in saying that sometimes you do eat the marshmallows. Between you and me, LOL, I have been in the same boat.
I wish you the best,

Joachim

A Little About Duane

I'm in training for triathlons with my ultimate goal of competing in the Ironman in Kona, HI in 2013 and setting a new world record for my age group. I will have turned 70 on the 25th of Sept. 2013. The record is 12:59:02 held by Bob Scott. Bob also holds the record for the 75-79 group at 13:27:50.

Your health is your No. 1 asset and at 68, I have the good fortune to be in very good health. I take no medication of any kind, however I have been taking the USANA Health Sciences brand of nutritional supplements since 1995. I'm a big believer in Vit D. The picture on the right is of me in 1996 when I was 52 and weighed 260 pounds. On the left, 66 & 205. More
