A bunch of Kids
1 Marshmallow each
Not an original idea, but very fun to make.

amazing video
The key is that it shows which kids are able to think about something other than the marshmallow, which in turn shows which kids will give into things such as peer pressure.
Pretty interesting :)
In this short talk from TED U, Joachim de Posada shares a landmark experiment on delayed gratification -- and how it can predict future success. With priceless video of kids trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow.

Great Video!! Great Concept..Two thumbs up!!
the girls are a bit more inclined to just go for it...
very good
... still smiling! ;)
He then followed the children's progress through adolescence - finding that who were able to wait without eating the marshmallow were better adjusted and 'more dependable', scored higher on SATs too.
for those wondering some about the tests, here is a new yorker article that talks some about them.

By the way, how long did you let them wait before (finally ;D) giving them the 2nd marshmallow?
nice idea
2:44 was just hilarious :D
The music is awesome, too.
Lo cruel sería no darles el premio por el cual lucharon (con esas graciosas caras).
Nice Video ;)!
Herrlich, die Mimik und Gestik plus die passende Musik!

3 weeks ago, I had been in New York City for a week, really a great place! Little bit loud, but nice and friendly people from a lot of differents nations, but some of them are not really slim.
You don't see this kind and number of overweight people in Europe. I am practicing for exemple Yoga every day, stopped smoking and drinking alcohol and I am feeling great since some years. Move you body, walk, no drive in or drive through.
Even the muffins are doublesize there :-), and the grey squirrels in the Riverside Park too. Here the squirrels are brown or dark orange, and shy and small ..ok, I am waiting for your next great clip, Steve.
And...we need PR for memoro.org/de and I am trying to learn some fundraising for our non-profit-organisation :-), hard work in Europe, because the people are used that the social state is responsible for everything.
Just kidding :)
Great video!
I remember something about that study they did back in the 60's. very interesting stuff.
Great vid mate, Love it :))))))))))))
and how true short term greed and then running to your parents to get what you could have gotten if you had a long run strategy.
But try to figure out this marshmallow being a car or a house and if you wait a couple of years more you could get (buy) another one for free? Not so simple anymore, unh?
Any similarity with our "interest rates", "credit cards" and "financial markets" reality ??? Great Work!!!
