TED Conferences’ Post

A classic (and adorable!) experiment that reveals a link between self-control and success:

So great and interesting but poor little colombian girl. It was very interesting to see how she tries to dupe. I m a little dubitative in front of the results when child are adults so..... have a good day :)

This is a great video, but there are many other factors to success than just willpower. Education, environment, economical means, amongst others, are huge factors that can impact an individual’s success in life. Although practicing great self-control has a role in success, it is not the end-all be-all.

Un grand classique, on ne s'en lasse pas !
