The Importance of Delayed Gratification Fast-paced living skips many crucial steps along the way . It is common in our day to be able to get anything we want quickly. Since the invention of push-buttons, we have grown accustomed to instant gratification. We get instant meals from the microwave oven.
Instant entertainment comes at the touch of a button.
We can get instant cash at the ATM machine 24 hours a day, instant weather reports on the telephone and instant connections around the world via computer.
