“People are either born deferred gratifiers or not.” “There’s a psychological study done and if you’re an impulsive person that has to be gratified immediately , you’re probably not gonna have a very good life and we can’t fix you.” “If not, you’re on the way to prosperity and... happiness.” - Charlie Munger. 2018show more

Delay of gratification is a lower-order facet of trait conscientiousness. It has plasticity. It can be developed. Source: IO Psych w/ PhD in personality.

Running increases willpower by strengthening the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This has what scientists call a "crossover effect," meaning the benefits extend into other areas of life. Running also increases VEGF, which promotes the growth of new blood vessels in the brain!

Delayed gratification is powerful, but it's not something people are simply born with. Like a muscle, it can be trained through small daily choices. The ability to sacrifice a little comfort today for a bigger reward tomorrow is often what separates short-term success from long-term prosperity. Consistency beats impulse more often than talent. 📈 #Discipline #Mindset #Success #PersonalGrowth

That what's the true advice from the legendary Charlie Munger
