"Just as the capacity to defer gratification is a sign of real maturity, likewise the willingness to wait for deferred explanation is a sign of real faith and of trust spread over time."
Elder Neal A. Maxwell
Marshmallow Study
This study included setting a large marshmallow in front of a child and telling him/her that they could eat it now or wait 15 minutes and they would get 2 more. These children were followed into their adulthood. The one's who were able to wait and defer their immediate wants were more successful in life and had happier relationships, more successful jobs and careers compared to those who couldn't wait and ate the first marshmallow.
