● share my thoughts on the talk :
Actually I have heard this story before. That's why I choose this. The talk is mainly about the factors that lead to success. It's said that delay satisfaction and self-discipline are the most important. I agree. If you want to succeed, of course you can't just look at the immediate benefits and happiness. It's correct in the long run. Because we learn how to endure only for the future. I think this story brings me a lot of feelings. From then on, I will always remember in my heart that I am not in a hurry to enjoy, and choose to work slowly and learn to wait.
