Delaying Gratification
Many people have not learned to delay gratification and want in their twenties for what took their parents 40 years to earn and acquire. Many fall into the trap of focusing on what they want now instead of what matters most long term. …One of the biggest mistakes we make in life is that we give up what we want most for what we want right now. The prosperous have learned to resist the temptation to lose what matters most long-term for the short-term pleasure of something now.
