However, we may not realize that it will be better for us, in time, if we try not to indulge in what we want right away. For example, say today you went to the store and saw on the shelf, shining in all it’s aluminum glory, a king-sized Snickers candy bar. You have several options now. You can A) buy the candy bar and immediately inhale it before you can even get to your car, B) Pass it up altogether, o...
