If I were a child doing the marshmallow test, I believe I wouldn't have eaten the first marshmallow and I would have waited for the other one. I loved marshmallows when I was a child and I still do, but I would have learned by the age of four on how to deal with my temptation in order to get a reward afterwards. When I was child, I liked doing the task first, and at the end receive my reward. This still applies to me at the present. I feel committed to finish my homework and afterwards enjoy my spare time watching television or some other hobby, with a mind free from work and stress. In addition, when I interrupt my homework in order to procrastinate, I feel guilty and irresponsible. Honestly, it is very hard to avoid procrastination, no matter what the reward is at the end.
On the other hand, I like the way Daniel Goleman describes what the children did to keep their mind busy from thinking about eating the marshmallow. The results seem interesting. I don’t know exactly what I would have done in order to keep my mind busy.
Furthermore, I like how the marshmallow test proved that the decisions we make in our childhood reflect on the decisions we make in the future. I am amazed on the results from the test, where the children that could resist the temptation to eat the marshmallow turned out to be academic gifted people.
