Before
now I had never heard of delayed gratification. In class, we discussed delayed
gratification as the ability for a person to put off the instant thrill of
something immediately in the hope of something better in the future. It has to
do with the amount of patience you have, like how long you’re willing to wait
for something you want, which correlates with willpower, this meaning how much
can you wait for without breaking down. People have different amounts, though
you can strengthen the amount of willpower, sort of like a muscle and in turn,
you have to have a greater delayed gratification.
