“We are both ants and grasshoppers, and to lose the hot emotional system and live continually dominated by the cool cognitive system in the service of a possible future can become a life story as unsatisfying as its opposite.”

“Who we are and what we become reflects the interplay of both genetic and environmental influences in an enormously complex choreography. It is time to put away the ‘How much?’ question because it cannot be answered simply. As the Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb noted long ago, it’s like asking, What’s the more important determinant of a rectangle’s size: it’s length or its width?”

“The child who can’t wait a minute can manage to wait for twenty when he changes his thoughts about the temptations. To me, that finding is more critical to the long-term correlations because it points the way to strategies that can enhance self-control ability and reduce stress.”

Just imagine you're four years old, and someone makes the following proposal: If you'll wait until after he runs an errand, you can have two marshmallows for a treat. If you can't wait until then, you can have only one--but you can have it right now. It is a challenge sure to try the soul of any four-year-old, a microcosm of the eternal battle between impulse and restraint, id and ego, desire and self-control, gratification and delay... There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, led to one or another impulse to act.
