The principle of delayed gratification is something that we can apply for almost everything in our lives. The rarer a particular thing is, and the more we wait for the pleasure of finally getting it, the more enjoyable it is when we receive it
In the world we live in most people can’t wait for the greater delayed reward and chooses the instant reward instead. Almost every pleasure that you can possibly think of is available to you at any particular moment. Want to watch a movie? It’s available to you by a click of a mouse. Want to try some Chinese food? You can order it for instant delivery through any 24hour food joint. Want to purchase a new rock album past midnight without going to the store? Simple find it on Amazon or iTunes and buy it online. Want to talk for a while? Call a friend or text the person.
