In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
*Avoid situations
*Commitment agreement
*Less gap b/w intention and actions
*More informed about self control issues
Plenty of self control to hear this entire speech.
Meh, but she did it.
I actually think this was some kind of test :)) Probably in 2022 she will come and tell us how many people watched her til the end and how much people watch Ted Talks til the end in average :))
A good tip for dieting is the sDiet (no sweets snacks spirits or seconds except for sat/sun). It's about reward. You get to give yourself sweets if you hold off on sweets mon-fri. I worked for me and I lost 20lbs in 5months. You need to give yourself a reward to stay motivated.
expected much more from this video.
有志者，事竟成。I will resist the temptations because my goal demands it! (Not the official translation but pertinent to this talk) The old saying has an underlying understanding about human nature. That’s part the reason why some of us persist and achieve. Drive, goal, determination, whatever, it is a clear and firm belief about a certain future, that ultimately outweighs instant gratifications and constant distractions. The world is designed to prey on our weaknesses, and luckily we always have a way to fight back.
hate disciplinarians.
Love it! I have watched this talk so many times now... and every time it gives me a different perspective.
Now that we are aware of "desire" within us, can we question: what exactly is it and where does it come from?
Sandeep Maheshwari brought me here..
Me too
he told to watch video of kids
The solutions given are only temporary ways to "trick" your mind into better self-control. One of the great problems with the mind that lacks self-control in the first place, is its ability to resist the disciplines of 1) avoiding temptation; 2) creating commitment contracts for said behavior.
Long-term solutions are much more difficult
I can wait forever for a marshmallow because I've never liked them.
But then you wouldn't want the second marshmallow as well
😂😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂
What's there not to like about a marshmallow beyond it being empty calories?
You must be successful af then
What if the children that took the marshmallow were actually on a completely unforeseen level of self control, opting for the first marshmallow only because they were in fact resisting excess junk food and literally only wanted one marshmallow?
Interesting perspective
are you the one who ate instantly and now justifying
That's why they can't do this test on adults..
@@craigzilla100 Are you the second child?
@Alan Here comes the third friend :)
I own a marshmallow factory you guys are welcomed ( we may do some testing on you guys )
With the newest study, a better idea should be to use good habitual behavior to replace the bad ones. Habits are much more reliable than our conscious mind, which are changing all the time depending on our willpower at different times of the day.
Great talk
She couldn't resist the temptation of using the word "so".
Am I the only one who wanted the apple now and chocolate later?
Hoping that by next week I would change my mind about that too and go for the apple 😆
"We are not filming you... So, its ok"
Any haters, im pretty sure its symbolic for us adults.
Individuals who are incapable of delaying gratification come out on top in the Wolf's Dilemma.
Justin Arends +
Justin Arends what is wolf's dilemma
good for them.
A true speech to listen and learn.
THANK YOU
She was nervous, she didn't even see hands, it was dark. thnx for sharing.
Isn't it fascinating when you know that Chimpanzes have the same reactions, but are more succesful to resist in order to get more later?
Yes. I agree with you!
@@wendyhe5438 well thank you! I thought it was considered as not decent to say it.
I am glad to meet someone brave enough to find our cousins Apes are simply amazing.
Muito bom... Compartilhei!
What if there wasn’t a second marshmallow and they tell you to do it again? 😎
Who else did the marshmallow test well watching this?
Personally I would pick the chocolate bar just because apples give me chills.
APPLES ARE GOOD
apple is bad
@@datpotatoes4005 Potatoes are just Apples of the Earth
@@rr.studios Thats cool
Good
هلا ولله بالشباب الطيبة الي من القاسمي :)
It's a personality thing- traits and I q
Not going to lie. My instant gratification made me put this is x1.5 apeed. Lawd her speaking feels like slow mo.
Thanks lol watching this for psych n complete forgot about this lol
I think if anyone is going to lecture people on laziness, they should really check their spelling and grammar before posting. Hypocrisy is worse than mere laziness?
Why not reference the original experiment in which three pieces of chocolate where offered now or a full bar of chocolate in half an hour? There is a word for passing off someones else's work as your own, which is essentially what seems to be going on here, and that word is "plagiarism". Still, UA-cam don't appear to have a problem with it.
Her accent and ways of talking makes me hard to focus on her presentation..... sorry
There is nothing wrong with her voice.
Ah americans
According to surveys - noone has ever bought a pot noodle.
This is typical wisdom from the “world” there is something greater! God’s Wisdom!
Scripture states: Galatians 5:22-25 “But the fruit (notice fruit is singular all these 9 facets are included in 1 fruit!) of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with it’s passions and desires. If we live in The Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
This gift is sealed in a Believer the moment they, from their heart, turn to Jesus asking for His forgiveness! So then we work out into our daily lives that which was supernaturally placed inside every Believer at the moment of Justification, Redemption and Reconciliation that comes from The LORD alone!
Sorry, didn't understand
i love marshmallows
Maybe part of it’s the fact that you’re in a hurry. You’ve grown up on instant orange juice. Flip a dial-instant entertainment. Dial seven digits-instant communication. Turn a key-push a pedal-instant transportation. Flash a card-instant money. Shove in a problem-push a few buttons-instant answers.But some problems you can’t get quick answers for, no matter how much you want them.We took a little boy into Central Receiving Hospital yesterday; he’s four years old. He weighs eight-and-a-half pounds. His parents just hadn’t bothered to feed him. Now give me a fast answer to that one-one that’ll stop that from ever happening again. And if you can’t settle that one, how about the 55,000 Americans who’ll die on the highway this year? That’s nearly six or seven times the number that’ll get killed in Iraq. Why aren’t you up in arms about that? Or is dying in a car somehow moral?
we you pick up chocolate even 1 month from now, im rip :))))
i can’t eat gelatin anyways😑🤚haram
If this test was done now he'd be very good at clash of clans.😂😂
😂😂👌
Yeah! Coc test self control at extreme level 😂
I will choose apple because I don't like chocolate!
boring....zZZZzzzz
HORRIBLENESS
This crowd thinks they are in a comedy show.

Good topic, poor speaker.
