The original experiment:

The marshmallow experiment is a famous test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

外国人的试验。把四岁大的孩子领到一个空房间里，里面放上一块糖，和孩子约定：大人一会出去20分钟，这块糖你可以吃，也可以不吃，如果大人回来时，糖还在，就会再给一块。吃了就没了。

心眼坏透了的大人们偷偷录下了不同孩子的表现。下面有个视频，配乐很好，孩子们很真实，大人们真龌龊。哈哈。
