The Most Important Trait

One cookie today, or two tomorrow?
Its difficult to wait for the second marshmallow,
Those who show control, and can delay gratification,
They in the life end better, with a high life satisfaction.

Mediocre output now, but brilliance tomorrow,
If you raise your expectations, performance will follow.
Having a positive view of self, and the people you interact with,
Could lead everyone to be a better version, and stretch from hence-with. 

The hare runs fast, but the tortoise can plod, 
Talent may take you so far, but grit is the new god.
Its good to win a sprint, but character is a marathon run, 
passion and perseverance for a goal, is the way its done.
 
Self control or positive expectations, determination or grit,
Unless weaved in a moral framework, can get results that don't matter a bit.
