Concept 3: Delay of Gratification
Delay of Gratification is the ability of a person to wait for what he/she really wants in life.

A study performed by Walter Mischel in Stanford University involved 4-year-old kids and their ability to get what they really really want: marshmallows.

So basically, each kid was put in a room, with 1 marshmallow. They can eat it right away, or if they wait for 20 minutes, they would be given another one. Here’s the clip:



The university keep track on these kids later on in life and found out that

- Kids who ate the marshmallow look at short term orientation, often moody, envious & jealous, indecisive and more likely to use drugs.

- Kids who waited for the second one turned out to be long term oriented, works well under pressure, scored 250 points higher on SAT, success in school, self reliant and confident.

The ones who has the ability to delay gratification are the ones who can manage self discipline well.

2010-04-16公視晚間新聞(下水道接管率低 污水直接入河川)

看不到的地方，環境最容易受到忽略，尤其是在地底下的水溝和下水道，容易孳生蚊蟲和老鼠。其實，要解決這些問題，最好的方式就是興建汙水下水道，不過目前台灣的接管率只有兩成三，而且還有一半以上的家庭汙水，是沒有經過符合環保規定的方式來處理，就放流出去。雨水、汙水；乾淨的水、骯髒的水，通通水往低處流，流到水溝裡。環保聯盟問卷調查上千名民眾，其中，近六成三的民眾認為，應該改善水溝下水道孳生的蚊蟲、蟑螂和老鼠問題，五成一的人認為該解決惡臭問題。台灣的水溝這麼髒，主要來是跟我們湯湯水水的飲食文化有關係。台灣的水溝之所以要承載這麼多汙水，主要還是因為汙水沒有分流，流入衛生下水道，營建署統計，有超過一半的家庭汙水，是沒有經過現代環保設備處理過，直接就流入河川。而全台衛生下水道的接管率，平均只有兩成三。全台衛生下水道的建設，從八十一年開始到現在，已經投入一千五百二十多億元的經費，接管率還有很大的進步空間。環保團體呼籲，下水道是基礎公共建設，不只關乎環境乾不乾淨，也牽涉到公共衛生，政治人物不要把它當成看不見的政績，而忽視它的重要性。

自然期刊專訪 林政鞍台灣第一人(影音)

國際頂尖科學期刊「自然」(NATURE)雜誌，首度專訪了台灣青年科學家，這位台灣本土栽培，中原大學生物醫學工程系的林政鞍教授，他研發出可以發出螢光的奈米金材料，受到國際的肯定，他說，他從小立志當一位土產的博士，果真證明了台灣出產的科學研究、也是可以掛保證。這四瓶材料，在紫外燈照射下，各自發出不同顏色的螢光，主要的材料是黃金，將黃金奈米化後產生的發光特性，紅色光是1.5奈米、綠色光是1.1奈米，藍色光最小，只有0.8個奈米，這些獨特的螢光材質，將照亮未來的醫學研究。研發出這些材料的是今年才34歲的年輕科學家林政鞍，林政鞍從小在台灣土生土長，一路上都不是念明星的學校，不過他從小立志要當個本土的博士，如今他的研究成果，備受國際肯定，還在美國的奈米生醫光電學術會議，得到青年研究學者獎，成為國際知名科學期刊自然NATURE首度專訪的台灣科學家。
林政鞍的指導教授說，他的成績一向中等，但活躍於社團，培養了優異的組織能力，對從事研究很有幫助。
雖然林政鞍在念博士班時，才第一次出國，在教授的帶領下到加拿大參加國際會議，之後他參加國科會的德國交流計畫，他說，這些國外交流的經驗讓他開了眼界，雖然是台灣本土博士但也能與國際接軌，林政鞍的表現，可以說是台灣的科學之光。
