We need to utilize the proper path to success, which is based upon practice, discipline and a slow growth.

So the one quality that is essential for success in any aspect of human endeavor is will power our self control.

所以，人類在任何方面的成功都離不開一個品質，那就是意志力我們的自我控制。

And unfortunately, this is also the one quality that people find.

而不幸的是，這也是人們發現的一種品質。

They are deficient in.

它們的不足之處是：

Many decades ago, a scientist called Walter Michelle conducted an experiment in Stanford.

幾十年前，一位名叫沃爾特-米歇爾的科學家在斯坦福大學進行了一項實驗。

This experiment was called the toddler's torture.

這個實驗被稱為幼兒的酷刑。

Mhm.

嗯

He tested the will power off toddlers.

他測試了幼兒的意志力關。

Now, how do you test a toddler self control?

現在，如何測試幼兒的自控能力？

You cannot say.

你不能說。

Okay, you do this and five years down the line, you will achieve these rewards so he set up his test.

好，你這樣做，五年下來，你會達到這些獎勵，所以他設置了他的測試。

Very simply, he put a marshmallow in front of the toddler and said, My child, if you like, enjoy it.

很簡單，他把一個棉花糖放在幼兒面前，說：我的孩子，如果你喜歡，就好好享受吧。

But if you hold on for 20 minutes, you will get two marshmallows.

但如果你堅持20分鐘，你會得到兩顆棉花糖。

Now there is the reward for self control.

現在有了自制力的回報。

500 toddlers were tested by the researchers.

研究人員對500名幼兒進行了測試。

For some off them.

對於一些關。

It was a no go the moment the researchers turned their backs that toddlers reached out and put the marshmallow enjoy while you can.

這是一個沒有去的時刻，研究人員背過身去，幼兒伸手把棉花糖享受，而你可以。

Who cares about the future?

誰會關心未來？

Some off them contemplated over the dilemma for two minutes, but then gave it.

他們中的一些人為了這個難題沉思了兩分鐘，但隨後給。

Some toddlers held on for 7 to 8 minutes, and it was very interesting how they distracted themselves, squirming, looking the other way.

有的幼兒堅持了7、8分鐘，他們分散注意力，扭扭捏捏，東張西望，非常有趣。

But finally they gave him, and some toddlers held on for the full 20 minutes to receive the additional reward at the end.

但最後他們還是給了他，有的幼兒堅持了整整20分鐘，才在最後得到了額外的獎勵。

Now an interesting thing happened.

現在發生了一件有趣的事情。

Subsequently, Walter Michelle's got others were a part of the survey, and as they grew up, the other Children grew up with them.

隨後，沃爾特-米歇爾的得到了其他人是調查的一部分，隨著他們的成長，其他的孩子也跟著長大。

The daughters went to Stanford in college, and that was when Michelle got a chance to see how these coddler czar faring in life, he was, um, eased to see that self control off the toddler correlated to success in every sphere.

女兒們上了斯坦福大學，這時米歇爾才有機會看到這些學步沙皇在生活中的表現，他是，嗯，放心地看到，自我控制關學步的孩子在各個領域都與成功相關。

Those toddlers who had displayed the highest self control had far higher city schools.

那些表現出最高自控力的幼兒，其城市學校的成績遠遠高於其他幼兒。

They were far better students.

他們是更好的學生。

They had less anger problems.

他們的健康狀況較好，體重較輕等等。

And those toddlers who lacked the most in self control had developed Weiss's.

而那些最缺乏自控能力的幼兒，已經形成了魏氏。

They were overweight, they had relational problems, and so many of them had gotten convicted bean to prison and come out of it.

他們超重，他們有關係的問題，他們中的許多人已經得到了定罪豆到監獄，並從它出來。

That was when it was highlighted that self control is such an important virtue for human life.

這時才凸顯出自我控制是人類生活中如此重要的美德。

So let us delve further into it.

所以，讓我們進一步深入研究。

Where does this ability come from?

這種能力從何而來？

Whenever we engage in any physical are mental work.

每當我們從事任何體力都是腦力勞動。

Our brain fires up neurons in different regions.

我們的大腦會在不同的區域發射神經元。

The cortex, the neocortex, the sensory motor region.

皮層、新皮質、感覺運動區。

Overall, the human brain is far more developed than the brain off the creatures.

總的來說，人類的大腦要比生物的大腦關發達得多。

But there is one distinguishing aspect to it, and that is the prefrontal cortex, the prefrontal lobes off the new cortex.

但它有一個與眾不同的地方，那就是前額葉皮層，前額葉脫離新皮層。

This gives us humans the ability toe trump the Lord desires to do things that are beneficial, even though they may be hard.

這讓我們人類有能力去踐行主的願望，去做一些有益的事情，儘管這些事情可能很難。

The prefrontal cortex enables us to desist from the pleasure that is harmful.

前額葉皮層能讓我們從有害的快樂中解脫出來。

As somebody said, what prevents us from reaching our highest goal is not difficulties along the path, but an easier path to the lower gold.

就像有人說的那樣，阻礙我們達到最高目標的，不是路上的困難，而是通往下金的更容易的道路。

And this prefrontal cortex gives us three abilities in us humans.

而這個前額葉皮層給了我們人類三種能力。

First is I want It enables us to keep sight off.

首先是我想它使我們能夠保持視線的關閉。

What are superior Goals are the second I want it enables us, do not do the things that will distract us on The third is I will.

什麼是優越的目標是第二個我想它使我們，不做的事情，將分散我們的注意力上第三是我會。

It empowers us to do things that entail austerity that entail discipline.

它使我們有能力做一些需要緊縮的事情，需要遵守紀律。

That discipline comes from this prefrontal cortex.

這種紀律來自於這個前額葉皮層。

Now the good news is that this will power.

現在的好消息是，這種意志力。

It was very much like a muscle, and like a muscle, it tends to get exhausted with use.

它很像一塊肌肉，就像肌肉一樣，用著用著就會疲憊不堪。

Some researchers conducted an experiment.

一些研究人員進行了一項實驗。

Half the students in the samples away were taken to a room where they were radishes on hot cookies cooked in butter, but they were instructed.

一半的學生在樣品離開被帶到一個房間，他們在熱餅乾上的蘿蔔用黃油煮，但他們的訓示。

You will not eat the cookie.

你不會吃餅乾的

You will eat this bland radish and the other group of students were allowed to fees to their hearts content on the cookies.

你會吃這平淡無奇的蘿蔔，另一組學生被允許在餅乾上盡情收費。

Subsequently, there will powers were checked.

隨後，有意志力被檢查。

How is the willpower?

意志力如何？

Checked one standard testes.

檢查了一個標準的睪丸。

You give them an insolvable puzzle, but they do not know.

你給他們一個無法解決的難題，但他們不知道。

It's an insolvable puzzle, and they keep on trying until the willpower say's Enough.

這是一個無法解決的難題，他們一直在嘗試，直到意志力說 "夠了"。

This group that had its willpower tested seemed to have gotten drained, and they gave up in the test.

這群被考驗意志力的人似乎已經被榨乾了，他們在測試中放棄了。

Within eight minutes, the other group that had feasted to its heart's content continued for an average off 20 minutes.

在8分鐘內，另一組已經吃得津津有味的人，繼續平均關20分鐘。

So Will power is like a muscle that tires out, and that is why you will observe that you are really power is the highest in the morning.

所以意志力就像肌肉一樣，會疲勞，這也是為什麼你會觀察到你真正的力量是早上最高的。

That is the time to do tasks that are difficult that require the engagement off the brain, for example, writing spiritually practice, meditation, etc.

那是做一些困難的任務，需要脫離大腦的參與，比如，寫靈脩、冥想等。

And then through the day the willpower wins out, and often in the evening, people find that they are real power failures.

然後通過一天的時間，意志力勝出，往往到了晚上，人們發現自己是真正的失敗者。

That is why if in ah household, both the husband and wife are working in the evening, it is often found that they start fighting with each other because, while working, they drained out there will power.

這就是為什麼如果在一個家庭中，丈夫和妻子都在晚上工作，經常會發現他們開始互相爭吵，因為在工作時，他們耗盡了意志力。

They were engaging their mind in a task that the mind did not enjoy.

他們是在讓自己的心靈從事一項心靈不喜歡的任務。

And that is why by the time they came home, they did not have the ability to tolerate to be patient on the conflagration point was very low.

而這也是為什麼到了他們回家的時候，他們沒有忍耐能力，對燃點的耐心很低。

However, just like the muscles.

然而，就像肌肉一樣。

Willpower can also be developed.

也可以培養意志力。

That is the nature off this brain.

這就是這個大腦的性質。

If you apply toe math problems again and again, it becomes better at them.

如果你反覆應用趾數學題，就會變得更擅長。

If somebody engages in juggling that portion of the brain which is engaged in juggling tends to develop, and similarly, we can develop our willpower by exerting it.

如果有人從事雜耍，大腦中從事雜耍的那部分往往會得到發展，同樣，我們也可以通過發揮意志力來發展我們的意志力。

So a little bit of willpower exercise simple exercise.

所以有點意志力的鍛鍊簡單的鍛鍊。

For example, the body says you need to scratch, but you desist.

比如，身體說要抓，但你卻不幹了。

I will not now.

我現在不會。

It may seem like a small thing, but if you do it, you will discover than the willpower has started increasing on an even more powerful way of developing the willpower.

這看起來是一件小事，但如果你這樣做，你會發現比意志力已經開始增加上更強大的發展意志力的方法。

I would rather think of so and so now the intellect controls the mind.

我寧可想一想，現在智力控制了思想，所以才會如此。

Come back here.

回來吧

Every time the mind wants to wander off, you pull the mind back by exerting the muscle off self control.

每當心想走神的時候，你就會通過施展脫胎於自我控制的肌肉把心拉回來。

What is the consequence?

後果是什麼？

In three hours off meditation, you will find that your willpower has jumped many rungs.

在三個小時的脫胎換骨的冥想中，你會發現，你的意志力已經跳了很多級。

Try it and do it.

試著去做吧。

And it is not even necessary that you succeed in your meditation because even if you're not succeeding, you are still exerting your willpower.

而你的禪修甚至不一定要成功，因為即使你不成功，你也在發揮你的意志力。

You are every time practicing that focus.

你每一次都是在練習這種專注。

That concentration is an application off your self control and self control developed in one area off life will stand you in good stead in all the other areas.

這種專注力是一種應用，關閉你的自我控制和自我控制開發在生活中的一個領域關閉將站在你在所有其他領域的好。

So endeavor to enhance this muscle off willpower through practices such as meditation.

所以要努力通過冥想等練習來增強這種肌肉關意志力。

Andi, even after such practice, it is possible that you may find you are still a will power failure.

安迪，即使經過這樣的修煉，你也有可能發現自己還是一個意志力衰竭的人。
