Delayed gratification allows you to invest in education, sacrifice going bowling with the guys in order to attend your daughter's girl scout meeting, not buy on credit, but wait until you can pay cash for that flat screen 78 inch television.
Some prudent sage advised that we need to distinguish between what we need and what we want. The winning self-actualizer exemplifies iron will and years of self-deprivation and self-discipline in order to access those higher goals. What is needed is priority, and some of what we want we need right away to keep sane and satisfied. The rest of the wants must be categorized under delayed gratification.
