6am COT:
Convoy talked about the popularized “delayed gratification” marshmallow study. A child is offered either one marshmallow now, or if they do NOT eat the 1st marshmallow, a 2nd one will be delivered at a later time. The study states that the children who wait for the 2nd marshmallow exercise delayed gratification and tend to be more successful in life. However, in an interview with uber successful former General Electric CEO, Jack Welch, he claims that at some point you have to stop putting off enjoying what you’ve worked for. You’ve got to stop “drinking the cheap wine” and crack open a bottle of the good stuff. At some point you’ve got to each the marshmallow.
7am COT:
Bieber thanked the group for introducing F3 into his life. He has learned that there are two things you can control in your life: 1) Effort, and 2) Attitude. The men of F3 have helped him live this out every time he attends a workout.
