Often when the Marshmallow study is being quoted, they leave out half of the story. Which is that the kids who managed to not eat the Marshmallow didn't do it via iron discipline. They managed it by distracting themselves with other things (for example reciting poems or whatever). So maybe it was more about imagination than self discipline. Or you could say it was about self discipline, but self discipline is not what we traditionally think it is.
