ABSTRACT

According to Xinhua News website, reporting in January 27th, 2011, an article named Self-Control Ability in Childhood Can “Predict” One’s Road to Success wrote about the experiments of some researchers’ from Duke University. They made a random selection of 1000 newborn babies who would consistently bear a test of their self-control ability. When the subjects were at the age of 32, the researchers made an analysis of their health, wealth and family, trying to find out their relationship with their IQ, self-control ability as well as their social economic status. And they have found that children with low control ability might be more likely to have some health problems, be incapable of financial management or even have a criminal record in their adulthood. According to the experimental results, if children’s self-control ability get improved with time passing, they will live a better life. In other words, one’s future can be altered or changed by improving his self-control ability. However, children’ parents often neglect improving their babies’ self-control ability, which results in the problems in their children’s later life. Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to improve his self-control ability, which will play a vital role in one’s life.
