Thank you for sharing. I am aware of the experiment and the delayed gratification aspect of it. However, it makes a lot of sense that other factors matters: family economic status, child’s natural tendency to please their parents, parent’s education and achievement, trust building. Good summary!
I really like this too. I know about this test, but your explanation is so thorough. I look forward to hearing about the growth mindset, which is especially important in this current environment.
在成長過程,家庭中有很多因素影響孩子的(成功),例如家庭經濟狀況、父母教育程度、宗教信仰、學校的薰陶、老師的指導、孩子的性格特質⋯⋯有N種可以影響一個人的成長….單一的(棉花糖)測試又怎可能得到有"啟示"性的結果。類似的(成功人仕)硏究,Napoleon Hill 都有幾本書提及。

如果這個測試舉行在虫皇國,14億人口絕對會在0.5秒內吃掉棉花糖。

Excellent topic. Sadly with have ( rich ) kids this is not going applicable! Delayed gratification is always better than instant. Just at what cost? What do you have to give up for now. I spend 2 yrs of hard work spending my time in library inorder to gain decent grades to go into a decent school. Plus 4 more yrs in professional school.

All in alll mr. Shaw did bring up a very good topic. Haves family always help. They can also be victim of their own charm. Have kids usually not motivated to study hard in school. The real issue lies in if the kid is an avid reader. Many self made person even though lacking the quality time , still they learn from reading good books or from street. Some became religious and do the right thing to be a good person.

There are also instaneous income vs integrated income. Quite often is simply a hare ans turtle race. The dumb ones being not too sophisticated keep buying houses. And smarter (?) Ones played with stock market. A friend told me his smart son bought uranium future. He really saw what 99.9 % of us couldn't see.

If a person can and enjoy reading is the best one cn give him or her. I used to read 3 newspaper a day Globe & mail, Toronto star and a tabloid with pretty girl inside. Had to walk thru the library cafeteria all afternoon to find sections. 15 yrs ago i had some free time at home i read a few free biz news online. And WSJ or NY times only allow 10 articles per account. So i signed on wiyh multiple accounts. No doubt knowledge is powerful. My Chem prof explained every bit of research may not be useful now. But later on it will. Laser was discovered long ago but no medium to make i real powerful.
