Salzburg 2014.

What’s behind it? Matthias Sutter explains in a very understandable form what psychology and neuroscience have found out in recent times:
Success in the job, in one’s own relationships, in relation to the financial situation, as well as in relation to life success depends much more on whether one has learned to be patient, to forego short-term rewards and to invest in long-term projects.

Patience and intelligence are the two most important causes of successful life design. But only patience can be learned.
