Long-term decision making vs. short-term decision making.
It’s kind of the difference between emotionally mature decision-making vs. childish decision-making…
I am constantly amazed at people’s preferences for instant gratification here.
And I would like to say that it gets easier after 26, when our brains are more developed.
But I know tons of people who still make financial/relationship/diet/business decisions like an 8-year-old.
