In school, the teacher gave a delicious toffee to all the children in her class and then said a strange thing.
Listen, kids! You all don’t have to eat your toffee for ten minutes and saying this he left the class room.
There was silence in the class for a few moments, each child looking at the toffee in front of them and finding it difficult to contain themselves with each passing moment. Ten minutes passed and the teacher entered the class room. reviewed. There were seven children in the whole class who had the same toffees, while all the rest of the children were talking about the color and taste of toffee after eating it. The teacher secretly wrote the names of these seven children in his diary. Didn’t say anything to anyone and started teaching.
The name of this teacher was Walter Mischel.
After a few years, teacher Walter opened his diary and took out the names of the seven children and got information about them. He came to know that the seven children have achieved many successes in their lives and have been the most successful among the people in their respective fields. Teacher Walter also inquired about the remaining students of the same class and found that most of them lead a simple life, while there were some who are facing difficult economic and social conditions.
The result of this research, teacher Walter concluded in one sentence that –
“A person who cannot be patient for only ten minutes, he can never progress in life.”
