Delayed gratification is the ability to resist temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward however, GRIT is sticking with something no matter how difficult the task is. For example, GRIT is going to class every day and not giving up because it is not going the way you want. In the following paragraphs I will be discussing what GRIT, delayed gratification is, and what I have learned from these two topics.
1- The videos we watched during class were shown at the end of the semester to so, as students we could be able to pull examples of what delayed gratification and GRIT is. Also, the videos could help us become better students; for example, with GRIT I learned that no matter how hard the semester can be I should stick to the class, do everything that I am supposed to on my part in the end hopefully what I have done will pay off.
2- Yes, delayed gratification is one of many factors to determine an individual’s future success. As humans, often we want something immediately or be rewarded right after however, when accomplishing goals and making a commitment that is not always the case. For instance, going to college can be demanding as individuals we sometimes think/ say to ourselves “I just want my diploma now” but without hard work, dedication, and delayed

Throughout the article there are essentials between the views of Clement IV and Albert of Mainz on the practice of selling indulgence compared to Luther’s views. All articles speak upon sins and how they should be handled. The Bull of Unigenitus and The Machinery of Indulgence both share similarities on the viewing of practicing indulgence while believing innovation and reformation and having the thought of reconstruction old inherited traditions. Besides, Martin Luther opposes indulgence. He feels as if we should commence sins how the church utters and repent and do it the traditional way. Also,people should benefit social stability and the maintenance of the status quo and inherited traditions which is shown in The Ninety Five Thesis. Analyzing all articles i feel as if they all support different things throughout the biblical text. The objectives are the same, just different meanings.
“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.” –Brian Tracy. Too many of us are giving into instant gratification every day. Instant gratification is when we give ourselves short term fulfillment, without thinking of the future affects. The problem with instant gratification is that it’s keeping us from getting what we really want out of our lives. We do things for short term pleasure: Spending our time watching television, instead of learning and improving ourselves. We spend money on things we do not really need, instead of saving. Eating junk food and put off exercising, instead of disciplining ourselves. While giving ourselves a little instant gratification is not bad; too much can keep us from achieving our goals in our lives. We want to be successful, follow our dreams, be healthy and happy, but are often tempted to give in to the momentary satisfaction too much, instead of focusing on the future results, and big rewards down the road.
Does delayed gratification truly affect our success in life? In today’s society, we now live in a hyper connected world where we can do virtually anything all with the click of a button. We constantly strive to become faster and achieve better, but to what effect will delayed gratification have on our success in life? Mischel’s “The Marshmallow Test,” and Berger’s “The Invitation to the Lifespan,” have come to a similar conclusion that not only does delaying gratification in children and adolescents lead to the development of emotional control and can have long term effects in life, but it can also be taught. Although, I have not completed a delayed gratification experiment myself, based on personal experiences, I definitely agree with all
The quality of unimaginable success is determined by grit. Despite confronting difficult life circumstances that delay the process individuals who are passionate, intelligent, and dedicated to one’s own success will continue maintaining consistency throughout their journey. Success is measured by an individuals’ commitment to effectively work hard towards life-changing goals. In the journal article “Grit: Perseverance and Passion for Long-term Goals,” Angela L. Duckworth conducts several studies in order to convey human’s capacity for higher achievements while still enduring challenges and failure. Although Duckworth’s research has proven that individuals who are less gritty tend to shift trajectory, I believe working hard and keeping “stamina” is essentially the key to achieving your goals (1088).

In this study, theories of uses and gratification and parasocial relationships come together to describe how fans feel towards their favorite athlete as a role model. Uses and gratifications theory is an audience-centered approach that focuses on what people do with media, as opposed to what media does to people (Swanson, 2016). With the connection of uses and gratifications theory through parasocial relationships, it was determined whether or not fans should purchase their role model's jersey or root for them after wrongdoings and think about redeeming them or not. Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware
“Chronic procrastinators have perpetual problems finishing tasks, while situational ones delay based on the task itself. A perfect storm of procrastination occurs when an unpleasant task meets a person who’s high in impulsivity and low in self-discipline. (The behavior is strongly linked with the Big Five personality trait of conscientiousness.) Most delayers betray a tendency for self-defeat, but they can arrive at this point from either a negative state (fear of failure, for instance, or perfectionism) or a positive one (the joy of temptation). All told, these qualities have led researchers to call procrastination the “quintessential” breakdown of self-control (Jaffe).”
The knowledge that I have acquired in my previous years of education, all the way from first grade, to freshman year of college, has helped define and shape who I am and also how I view my role in society. Being educated allows the people that I meet in life to treat me with respect and in return I treat them with respect. I personally believe that it is through education that we can become closer to other people because we can share our opinions and ideas with them and in return learn to respect their opinions and not be judgmental. Education has helped me confront other people who have completely different views on a specific topic and engage in conversation with them to understand their point of view while at the same time expressing my point of view. It was through learning the customs and traditions of my childhood friends that I was able to form a friendship that is still strong today. Education teaches us the value of patience and the importance of understanding all sides of the issue at hand. Being able to have a stable education throughout my life so far has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of my surroundings and of other people. The access to stable education allows the individual to learn and understand the ideas of reason and logic which help the individual combat any sort of problem

The first thing that strikes me about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. My education has always been unique due to my childhood experiences. Education in all different forms is key to breaking the cycle of poverty as I have experienced. It has an uplifting effect on other aspects of society that may seem totally unrelated. The relationship between poverty and education is complex, but I know that education helps people make healthier and smarter decisions about their children, their livelihoods and the way they live. Education has changed
Education is considered to be one of the most is important thing in our life. we can say that education is the knowledge or the skill that can be taken . Education can teach us as individuals or communities the good things and the bad , it can help us to have a good choice for our future based on our strengths or weakness ( in high school you can gain these skills ) and direct us to our role in society . Some countries do not have good standards in education , resulting in a society having aimless lives. Some of them find themselves as criminals or useless people so they did not feel their role to improve their countries and most of them do not take their responsibilities toward their children, which make the children consider as negative citizens.
