吃货是天生的？那都是安慰自己的借口！

棉花糖实验因为数年后的神奇发现而名声大噪：当年实验中那些抵御诱惑获得两块棉花糖的孩子长大成人后，在学校、工作以及感情中都更为成功;他们也更加苗条，更加冷静，更善于社交，精于理财，不会沉迷于某物而不能自拔。

It seems having the capacity to wait for two marshmallows is quite important. In the US, there are “Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!” T-shirts, and investment companies have used the marshmallow test to encourage retirement planning, according to The Atlantic.

这样看来，“能够等得了两块棉花”是一种十分重要的品质。据《大西洋月刊》报道，在美国，不仅可以看见印着“不要吃棉花糖!”的T恤，还有投资公司利用这一实验推行其退休计划。

Many people have interpreted the results of the Marshmallow Test to mean fate is predetermined by one’s biology. But Mischel has just published a new book — The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control — which claims the true meaning of the experiments is just the opposite.

很多人将棉花糖实验的结果看做是基因决定命运的明证。但是米歇尔却在自己的新书《棉花糖实验：学会自我控制》中称，这项实验的真正意义却恰恰相反

Learning restraint

学会克制

“The most important thing we learned is that self-control — the ability to regulate one’s own emotions — involves a set of skills that can be taught, and learned,” Mischel told journalism website Vox.com. “They’re acquirable. Nothing is predetermined.”
