Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'The Marshmallow Test'

If someone set a marshmallow in front of you, would you eat it?

If that person told you that if you didn't eat it, but watched it for 15
minutes, they'd give you another marshmallow. Would you eat it or wait?

Now imagine you're a kid. Do you think you'd have the patience to wait 15
minutes? Think of how much longer 15 minutes seems like to a child than it does
to us.

You've probably heard of the psychology experiment conducted by Stanford
professor Walter Mischel in the 1960s.
