"We can't control the world, but we can control how we think about it."

     This quote interprets to saying we can't control everything thats happening in the world, but our perspective of life and our aspect of the world can be altered. We have control of the choices that we make; either positive or negative. Our actions are a result of our conscience, which reacts to situations that we can't control. We have the ability to control ourselves, just like the kids who prevented themselves by waiting for the marshmallow. Instead of thinking about eating the marshmallow, the kids could control their minds to avoid the marshmallow. For example they can distract themselves by playing with a toy in the room.
