I'm here because I have a very important message: I think we have found the most important factor for success.
And it was found close to here, Stanford.

Psychology professor took kids that were four years old and put them in a room all by themselves.
And he would tell the child, a four-year-old kid, "Johnny, I am going to leave you here with a marshmallow for 15 minutes.  If, after I come back, this marshmallow is here, you will get another one.  So you will have two."

To tell a four-year-old kid to wait 15 minutes for something that they like, is equivalent to telling us, "We'll bring you coffee in two hours."  Exact equivalent.

So what happened when the professor left the room?
As soon as the door closed... two out of three ate the marshmallow.

Five seconds, 10 seconds, 40 seconds, 50 seconds, two minutes, four minutes, eight minutes.
Some lasted 14-and-a-half minutes.
Couldn't do it. Could not wait.
What's interesting is that one out of three would look at the marshmallow and go like this ...
Would look at it.　Put it back.
They would walk around.
They would play with their skirts and pants.

That child already, at four, understood the most important principle for success, which is the ability to delay gratification.
