the promise of delayed gratification

February 13, 2009

I believe in delayed gratification. I need to. I have to. For the 3 years I’ve been saving 10-peso coins, I acquired a Samsung flat-screen TV. As a kid, I had a separate coin bank for 5 and 10 cents; in 2 years, I had 7 pesos. When I got these things, it made me thankful I saved and sacrificed. I have to achieve something somewhere somehow. I’d be successful IF I work hard and IF I relinquish comforts that seemed to fit me right. I’d settle for less than or just what I need. I’d buy my luxury cars and Patek Philippe watches later in my life. For all the pains and troubles, I would have my gratification in sight. True or not, it made my hardships seemed alright.
