        After the classmates reunion, some graduates decided to visit their old university professor.

        The conversation soon turned into1about stress in work and life.2his guests with coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and3with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some4, some expensive, some exquisite—5them to help themselves to the coffee.

        When all the students had a cup of coffee6, the professor said, “7you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up,8the plain and cheap ones. While it is9for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the10of your problems and stress. "

        "Be assured that the cup itself adds no11 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even12what we drink. "

        "What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you13went for the best cups... and then you began14each others’ cups.”

      “Now consider this: life is the15; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not16, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only17the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.18the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups19you ... enjoy the coffee20.”  

The marshmallow(棉花糖), a white, cottony, sweet confection (甜食)is synonymous(同义) with “temptation” in the US. This all began 50 years ago when psychologist Walter Mischel sat 5-year-old children down at a table and gave them a simple choice: they could eat one marshmallow now or, if they wait, receive two marshmallows later.

Mischel and his colleagues at Stanford wanted to understand the nature of self-control. If children could avoid eating the marshmallow over a set period of time, they were told they’d receive two as reward. If they couldn’t resist temptation, they wouldn’t get the second treat.

The Marshmallow Test became famous due to a remarkable discovery made some years later. Those children who were able to resist temptation for the reward of two marshmallows grew into adults who were more successful in school, work and relationships. They were also thinner, calmer, more sociable, better at managing their money, and less likely to be addicted to any substances.

It seems having the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important. In the US, there are “Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!” T-shirts, and investment companies have used the marshmallow test to encourage retirement planning, according to The Atlantic.

Many people have interpreted the results of the Marshmallow Test to mean fate is predetermined by one’s biology. But Mischel has just published a new book — The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control — which claims the true meaning of the experiments is just the opposite.

“The most important thing we learned is that self-control — the ability to regulate one’s own emotions — involves a set of skills that can be taught, and learned,” Mischel told journalism website Vox.com. “They’re acquirable. Nothing is predetermined.”

What’s more, he says, these experiments provide concrete lessons about self-control we can use as adults. Grown-ups can use these methods to quit smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money.

Mischel and other psychologists argue that the battle between instant gratification (one marshmallow now) and long-term gratification (two marshmallows later) is really a battle between two different systems in the brain.

Do you know what’s sadness? For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks. Two and a half college degrees: that’s a lot of paper. Worse, I carried them around — and trust me; they weren’t light — on at least seven moves(搬迁). Yet I never once looked at them.

They sat in our basement(地下室), covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they’d wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. What were my plans for them? When would the Big Day come? Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive — only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting of change than I am, finally convinced me to recycle the entire mess. The pain I experienced was also unexpected. I didn’t feel nostalgia(怀旧), or suffer pains for long-lost magical moments of my education. No, what hurt was to come across those terrible papers I’d written, reminders of poor study habits, immaturity(幼稚), and an embarrassing lack of comprehension.

Thank goodness,I won’t have to lug those dusty, dirty things on our next move. But what really happened was a purging(清除) of personal history. At first I struggled with this. The truth is in the record — my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To trash them was to trash the truth.

What I’ve learned since taking this leap is that the lesson is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education has been a direct reaction to killing time during my college years. The lessons aren’t in the documents—they’re now in me. So I was glad to free myself of this physical burden and the mental one too: I don’t need to relive the painful moments, as the lessons have now sunk in.
