What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

The topic for this evening is impulsiveness. Yeah?

And they found that the people who waited the 5 minutes to get the second marshmallow, they followed them through life. They had more stable marriages and relationships. They were more successful in business, successful in everything. Because impulsiveness is unfortunately something that tears us apart, stops us from being successful.
