“Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion”

Although I felt like I was organized I now see that there is room for improvement. Writing a literature review has not necessarily affected the research I did but definitely affected how I would organize the information so that it would be easily retrieved. The process was similar to the annotated bibliography. If time was spent researching and writing a good bibliography it could be used to dig up the information needed for the review. I feel like I did well in writing the review, but I have been fooled by feelings from time to time. I will just have to wait and see how the work is judged. In the end there are many avenues to consider when looking at the development of “delay of gratification” and the effects it has on individuals from relationships, educational goals, sports, financial planning, and more. I predict that the development of impulse control and the ability to, as Mahammad Ali put it “Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion” is a personal decision put into place by forces not yet understood.

  1. There is always room for improvement. That's what I like about these classes. I always learn an easier way to research or a more effective way of writing to get my ideas across to my readers better. It does seem like this particular literature review is just like the annotated bibliography, mainly because it confined to a certain length, but I am sure you will find another class where you can build on your research of your topic. Good luck.
