Delayed gratification refers to the ability to resist the temptation of an immediate reward in favour of a larger more significant reward later on.
It involves forgoing immediate desires or pleasure in exchange for more substantial rewards in the future.
(It is like planting a seed today and patiently waiting for them to grow into fruitful tree. )
The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short-term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long-term,is the indispensable prerequisite for success.
Never give up what you want most for what you want today
