Hi Guys, Mark here!
I was listening to National Public Radio yesterday and they have a new study out where they found a correlation between 4 year old kids and their ability to wait to eat a marshmallow, and their later success in life.
Essentially, a large group of kids was tested give a Marshmallow and asked to wait as long as they could before eating it. Years later they located the kids again, and did a survey of how
they had done in life.
The kids that waited the longest, or were the most patient evolved into kids that got better grades, did better on their SAT’s and got more education and generally did better in life.
Kids who could not wait to eat the marshmallow tended to do poorly in school, got into more trouble, etc.
I once heard that “kids do what they like, adults like what they do”
We need patience to build sites, market things, and build the kind of results we need. Don’t think of this stuff like a lottery, but like an Orchard.
The fruit will come for years to come.
Be patient. I hated doing it too, but it works.
More to come.
